This turns up the following: tcp 888 0 192.168.35.10:42799 128.143.202.191:23 ESTABLISHED1 3841/aprsd Duh! Big red "ouch" starts fading in across forehead as the light comes on. "host 128.143.202.191" returns "xenon.hscs.Virginia.EDU." Sure enough, "/etc/init.d/aprsd stop" makes the traffic cease and the connection drop. (Should've read some documentation, instead of simply apt-getting the other day and thinking I'd play with it later.) Many thanks, David! Now I'm off to learn about aprsd... after I get some sleep. :-) Thanks, Jacob -- GnuPG Key: 1024D/16377135 Random .signature #43: Q: How many Microsoft Programmers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
