["Wyatt Draggoo" <wyatt AT draggoo.com>]

I've named mine using characters from Clive Cussler novels:

pitt: Firewall/gateway (he's the first line of defense)
cussler: My main desktop machine
smith: Wife's desktop (Loren Smith, Pitt's significant other)
giordino: My laptop
sandecker: Main web server
royale: Mail server (Tidi Royale is Admiral Sandecker's secretary)
gunn: Another login box
yaeger: Internal file server/Samba PDC

Any other machines I add to the network get names of Pitt's other love
interests, knowing that they probably aren't going to be there for long. :)

I have two desktop machines called bigcat and littlecat. The laptop I used to 
use (and still do for some purposes) is neofelis; the SourceMage laptop is 
blackcat.

The most cryptic set of machine names I've seen is at pair.com. It starts out 
with Greek letters, then Ogham, then a few numbers in languages in no 
particular order, then lots of words I don't recognize at all.

I have used Phoenix, but I still rely on Mozilla for mail and recently 
the calender program.
I may keep to Mozilla 1.3 and try and work out why it hangs on 
keystrokes. Incidently, I installed mozilla 1.3 on a fresh install right 
after installing xfree86. But I haven't had any luck with mozilla 1.3a 
since.

I'll check this out. I did a brief scan of their site but didn't find much.

The pon script:
#!/bin/sh
 
ps     -C     pppd     >  /dev/null  &&
pkill  -15  "^pppd$"                 &&
sleep   5
 
/usr/sbin/pppd   call  ${@:-isp}

 >>ls -l /usr/bin/pon
-r-xr-xr-x    1 root     root          135 Mar 22 08:53 /usr/bin/pon

 >>ls -l /usr/sbin/pppd
-rwsr-x---    1 root     ppp        170056 Mar 22 08:53 /usr/sbin/pppd

I'm not absolutely sure how these things work, but it's not overly 
important. I might play around.

Cheers, for the answers.
