I recommend using "screen" to solve the problem of broken dialup
connections. It only works for a "dumb terminal" interface. I would
sure like a version of an X server that would do the same thing for X
connections...

I could be wrong since I haven't played with it much, but I was under the
impression that the 'dislocate' script won't work with arbitrary
processes; you need to actually set them up for re-attachment first
(through a prior invokation of 'dislocate').
The man page is *very* unclear on this point, but check the source (it's
just an 'expect' script) for more info.
