That would be why I added the precondition "a stable connection", yes. I fully realize not everyone is able to achieve the above, I'm just trying to point out, for those able, that it is an option. (There are, I know for fact, users of #lojban with DSL and other nailed up connections, that could do the above, but don't for reasons unknown.) - Jay Kominek p.s. For UNIX using IRC'ers, you might want to look into the screen command, if you havn't already, as it allows you to leave a program running even when you don't have a terminal allocated for it, and to switch which terminal it is running on.
