1) you're a dork for trolling for more *BSD v. Leenucks flame war nonsense, and:
2) the GPL has been tested in court, with Jobs / NeXT in the late eighties. If you'd been part of the Unix world for longer than a month, you might know that.
In the case of xscreensaver, each of the screensavers are actually free-standing programs that can be launched independtly of the xscreensaver process. so what you might be able to is hack something up that polls for keyboard input, and starts one of the screensavers after a particular "non-idle" threshold has been hit. not my area, but probably an interesting little hack. may be able to tie that in with the existing code in emacs that already does that...
some onboard modems on laptops actually show up as pcmcia devices and these would likely be supported by cardmgr, but otherwise, you probably just want do disable it in the bios and pick up a pcmcia (or better yet an external) modem. try pricewatch or somebody else on the web, you'll probably find one for under a hundred bucks.
small price to pay for not having to run a crippled OS.
yeah, check the above threads. redir kicks arse. i spent like three hours trying to read the "english" docs to ipmasqadm and dorking around with ipportfw, found redir and had an Exchange box doing SMTP and POP behind a Linux firewall in all of 20 minutes.
follow the path of least resistance, grasshoppah...
yeah, just run panel in either yr ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/autostart script or add it to yr.xinitrc or.Xclients. (Be sure and add an '&' after the 'wmaker' line if you start it there...).
don't bother with any of the gnome-session stuff, most of it's not fully implemented anyway. just run panel and you'll get the little clickie-bar and the rest of the gnome doodads.
oh, and there's an option when you start wmaker to disable its icons and make it play nice with gnome in WMPrefs somewhere you might want to turn on.
Firewalling ICMP takes care of this, folks.

Rather than let this dipshit have the last word, thought I'd mention that my box running 2.2.8 with ipchains firewalling and a rule banning incoming ICMP is NOT, i repeat ***NOT*** vulnerable to this exploit... just FYI. oh, and if you're not behind at LEAST one firewall and you're connected to the Internet, you deserve anything you get hit with-- regardless of OS.

Any essay citing emacs as an example of the clarity and efficacy of consensus-based coding falls a bit short... Zoinks.

Period.
hey, ya'll, it's mach, it's 4.4BSD, it gots apache, and it runs on G3... what more do you need?
so have the plans for x86 ports been scrapped or what? prolly not jobs' style, but personally if it ran on x86 i'd jump on it.
it's NeXT-lite (tm) ! with macOS windowdressing, of course... needs a dock. 8)
