We comment on some physical and technical aspects of our linear-dilaton string solutions. We explain why the corresponding cosmological epoch has finite duration due to tachyonic instabilities present even in heterotic and type-II strings, argue that the size of the universe varies at a rate depending on the choice of relevant physical units, and briefly speculate whether such epochs replace inflation. Treating formally the screening prescription previously used to define d > 25 amplitudes as insertions of a tachy-on background, we derive a renormalized coupling constant, which exhibits a curious zero for one particular duration of the linear dilaton epoch.
