      Hello Alan!              11 Jun 16 15:25, you wrote to Allen Prunty:               AI> I used to use the linux version of irex under kernel 2.4. When the 2.6        AI> kernel went mainstream irex stopped working. I don't know why that is        AI> exactly but I could never overcome that.              There were changes in DNS resolution between kernel 2.4 and 2.6 that broke the        libraries that IREX was compiled with. It actually will work under kernel 2.6        if you specify all of your connections by IP address instead of hostname.              Andrew              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20160322        * Origin: Phoenix BBS * phoenix.bnbbbs.net (1:320/219)    |
