Any hints appreciated. > >John Culleton John, In my case, if there are any entries in /etc/X0.hosts that are not on my local network, the machine dials out and waits until the modem connects and gets DNS resolution on them (I think that's what it is doing). And this takes about 50-60 seconds usually. Then X comes up. If I remove those non-local entries, X starts right away and the modem doesn't dial out. Don't know if that's the issue in your case, but thought I'd mention it. John -- John Cirillo
