Thank you. And also thank you to deraadt for hist previous message where he took position to my points. I can now withdraw my critcism about the WD network driver behaviour - things have settled quite a bit - but I still have flaky networking behaviour: Often I cannot telnet from outside to the machine and when I then go to the machine which is in the state that the Xserver just had died and is fallen back into alpha mode then when I restart X suddenly telnetd (or inetd) seems to be awaken. It is strange and please just take it as statitics to get some numbers what kinds of difficulties people have. This may have various reasons.
