I guess you could add me also to this category. The sessions seem to
lock up, but actually just stop echoing what I type and what is sent by
the other computer. I admit that it has greatly improved under 99pl5,
but still occurs once in a while. Someone one mentioned something about
ttys not being flushed, which would account for what happens after a
lock up. If it was a telnet session, and it lockes up, I type logout,
I log out of the other maching, and as soon as I get back to Linux, all
the characters I've been typing but couldn't see come through.
