OK, this one is really bugging me.  I just installed 4.0, and when I run 
pppd, I can't start X (fvwm95).  If I start X it just comes up with the 
blank grey screen and an X cursor.  If I run X before starting ppp, 
everything works except I can't run certain programs while ppp is 
running.  For example, I can't run Netscape or Midnight Commander while 
ppp is on.  When I try to start these programs, nxterm drops one line 
and that's it.  I can then type or hit ^C.  When I deactivate the interface, 
everything will run again.  I have installed all the errata updates, and
other than that I have a complete default installation.  My modem is a 
Hayes Accura 28.8.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
