Sorry for bothering you and please reply to me directly as I am not a member of the list. Whenever XEmacs 21.4.3 is started with a following script #!/bin/sh if /usr/local/bin/gnuclient -batch -eval t >/dev/null 2>&1 then exec /usr/local/bin/gnuclient ${1+"$＠"} else /usr/local/bin/xemacs -unmapped -f gnuserv-start & sleep 2 until /usr/local/bin/gnuclient -batch -eval t >/dev/null 2>&1 do echo done exec /usr/local/bin/gnuclient ${1+"$＠"} fi it tries to connect to the Internet for some reason. As my kernel is set to auto-connect / auto-hangup, when my ISP has problems then 21.4.3 will not start at all !! If I unload kernel ISDN modules, no problems. There is no output regarding this on the console, nor anything in .xeamcs/ files that would make it behave in that manner. Any ideas ?? Many thanx in advance. -- Regards, __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Mr. Sinisa Milivojevic <sinisa(a)mysql.com&gt; / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ MySQL AB, FullTime Developer /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ Larnaca, Cyprus <___/ www.mysql.com
