I'm kinda confused... either that, or ppp/slirp is better than I thought....
Basically I'm running linux at home with zsh. I fire up xwindows, start
ppp, and telnet to the host that slirp is running on. (slirp gives ppp
access to a normal shell account) I then procede to try emacs. This then
gives an error of 'can't open $DISPLAY'. I then set DISPLAY="" and
everything works as it should.
Does zsh automatically set the DISPLAY variable? and if so, how can I turn
it off? :)
Thanks;
Jason
