I'm trying to beat the system by making my mouse and dip connection work
on my new linux installation.

I have a 2-button mouse. When I run startx my mouse is dead under the
"Microsoft" setting in Xconfig. I've read that "gpm" may be necessary, but
I may just buy a cheap 3-button.

I seem to be very close on my dynamic dip connection, but after the login
I don't seem to get the right $remote and $host values. I'm using the
example in "running linux" for my *.dip chat script. There has got to be
some little error in my "/etc/hosts" or "/etc/diphosts" files.

Can anyone work with me? I've read through the manuals and tried all the
combinations but I'm really stuck now. Thanks very much.
