I wonder if these problems could have nothing to do with your modems. They both seem awfully familiar, and I'm running ODT 1.0.1 UFE and never dialing into it. I have xdm running, which puts up a pretty login window on tty01, while the remaining multiscreens are in character mode. User root does not have a .xsession file, so logging in as root on the X multiscreen simply produces an xterm (the default action) in which you see all of the login messages you see if you do a vanilla login on one of the other multiscreens. However, on the xterm, the display pauses immediately after "term=(ansi)" and will only resume if you hit ENTER!?!?! This doesn't happen on a vanilla multiscreen. I also have freezes during uucico transfers, only on large files, and I'm using a vanilla 2400bps modem. It will chug merrily along for a while and then stop for no reason. Sometimes it will restart after an alarm or two, sometimes it will just collect alarms until the conversation fails. Always: ASSERT ERROR (uucico) pid: nnnn (m/dd-h:mm:ss) PKXSTART ret (0) [FILE: pk1.c, LINE: 345] Perhaps by finding other ODT users with similar problems, we can get some idea what they *really* all have in common.... -- Chap Flack Their tanks will rust.
