Does anybody else have problems with the zephyrd from Zephyr 2.0 beta
dying at random times? I have zephyrd's running on a SunOS box and
a Linux box, and they are both dying every so often, like once a day
or so. I'm running non-athena, and I haven't tried the second beta
yet. I was just wondering if anybody else had experienced this before
I try to track down the problem.

Yup, Zephyr works great under Linux.

Technically, you could probably write a quick hack of a program that
would gateway zephyr messages to the little windows popup-thingie
(I think the samba code provides a means under Unix to send windows
popups). However, I'm not a DOS/Windows user either, so such a
product probably won't come from me. :)
