This is the place where I can mention the weirdest thing I have
experienced in connection with this sort of thing:
When running a telnet session from my Linux PC to a BSD box, I see the
disk lamp go on, and I hear the disk go 'chack' each time I press a key
on the keyboard!
I can not reproduce this with any sort of coherence, although I believe
it is related to my firewall settings ... but how?
I dotn' know if this can really be called a bug, since it does not
affect the functionality (to have this 'feature' removed would in any
case be called a non-functional requirement) but I thought it worth
mentioning as a folkloric item ...

I am a verteran KMan programmer, and I also have some Comal experience.
My first programming experience was on a 20-user ND-100 running SinTran,
a mainstream operating system for supermini-computers.
What do you mean 'never heard of it?'
