Solutions of the Vlasov-Poisson system which correspond to undamped travelling waves near a maxwellian equilibrium are analysed numerically. The results are strongly in favour of a recently developed theory which predicts the existence of BGK modes arbitrarily close to any spatially homogeneous equilibrium.
