DEC came in and (1) pulled every board in the machine, (2) applied a vacuum cleaner to the backplane, (3) cleaned the contacts of every board with some freon based cleaner, and (4) plugged all the boards back in again. The problems went away. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
