I was running 80x25 MDA on the other console and I may have started X from 
MDA.  Would it help to just start from the VGA screen every time?
I need to be in VGA mode when I boot linux, or things get scrambled.

I was being polite.

I am getting a fair number of complete crashes with BL3 even in just 
console mode.  Most recently I was telnetted to two locations at once and 
when I switched, everything froze up and I had to power off.  Perhaps the 
later epppd could be compiled for BL3?  I sometimes still have dialing 
problems with BL3 - have to dial twice to get things working.  I will try 
to keep better notes including version number.

I did manage to use links and telnet at the same time without crashing 
(BL3.02).
