  We were a beta site and saw that same problem. They were very helpful
and even offered to have someone come out if we couldn't fix it. We
thought it might be confused by our class A network. The guys at Dell
were sure we had the wrong net mask and broadcast address ;-)

  I'm waiting to try it with a GRX card, and I hope the performance is
better on that system. With the 640x480 I've been running tvtwm (the
virtual root window twm) and that works very well if you have enough
memory. That's true of all V.4 I've tried, they suck memory.
