Hi David,

And everyone else that piped in instantly to my rescue!!! You all said =
the same
thing in almost exactly the same way.. I am feeling a lot of kinship in=
=20this
room ;) But thank you all, that did the trick.. and silly me, I uncomme=
nted
everything in the .xinitrc file and wound up with 6 Xterms and a ton of=
=20other
goodies on my screen ;) But it opened and runs in 1280 x 1024 just grea=
t.. Um,
the frvm set-up? That screen flipping? Whoa, what a trip on the eyes wh=
en you
get too close to the edge of the screen... <squinting hard> Took me a w=
hile to
notice what was going on..

The new thing I did was run EVERYTHING in the X11R6/bin directory :))) =
That was
fun :)

I ran Mosaic, it came up and was unable to locate the internet.. um, ok=
, so i
shut down X11 and booted the pppd that I just got running. Then ran X11=
=20and
tried mosaic. It finds the link, sends requests, but nothing comes back=
=2E I
suspect my domain is not set right for my return path. Anyone know how =
that is
set up? I named my machine "marvin" and I connect to my internet servic=
e
provider "teleport.com" with the pppd. I have the nameserver point to t=
eleport.
so when I type "telnet kelly" I get logged onto the machine "kelly" at =
teleport.
When I run pine and send a mail to an outside address it gets there wit=
h the
return address of "root@marvin" ;) So I know I am hooked up for out goi=
ng.. but
nothing is going to find me at "root@marvin"

Anyway, I thank you all for the help you have given, and anymore you fe=
el like
giving. I will be reading the Unix Administrators Guide I bought this w=
eekend to
try and absorb all the help I have gotten so far. Sendmail doesn't look=
=20to self
explainatory right now, it may take a while. At least I got my aliases =
to build
:)

Nick :)
