> I've hit an interesting snag with Tramp on Emacs 22.1 on Fedora 7. Not a solution to your problem, but I used to use tramp a lot but gave up when it started behaving badly, sometime during FC6. I switched to mounting the remote file system using fuse-sshfs, and then opening the files directly in emacs. I found this to be more stable (and more convenient as it happened, as of course the files are available to any application, not just emacs). Just a thought... cheers Chris
