I had to wait 10 seconds to get a character to echo to the CONSOLE. also, if users disconnect without quitting lynx, it becomes a zombiie.. it uses huge amounts of CPU time. but there is nothing that compares to it in functionality... i have to keep it running even tho i hate it so. i have no idea aboput the bug report stuff.... maybe you can loadf a later version, check the permissions, or if you can get away with it, just tell the users its not working *giggle* zeke
