Disclaimer: There are so many things that could be going wrong I'm not
blaming kermit, I'm just wondering if there are any data points :-).
Situation: Recently, I've been doing a lot of work on my home linux box
(redhat 9 with all updates applied) from my home windows XP box and running
the cygwin XFree86 on windows and doing X11 forwarding through a kermit95
(2.1.3) ssh connection to my linux box.
This mostly works great - I usually have an emacs running on linux with
the display on windows. Sometimes I'll be using it for hours at a time.
Occasionally though, the emacs will appear to freeze, and once it went away
entirely with an error back in the shell where I started it saying it lost
the connection to the X server. Sometimes the kermit window also appears
to freeze (other times it continues to work even with emacs frozen).
I'm just wondering if anyone has noticed similar problems?
I realize this could be a bug in XFree86, the linux sshd forwarding code, the
kermit forwarding code, or even emacs on linux or my linksys router, but I
am wondering if kermit is part of it :-).
I think I'll try connecting directly to my windws box in the future rather
than using the X11 forwarding and see if the freezes still happen. (just
to eliminate one factor from the chain).
