Why is it that over the last 4 years of owning the PC7300 I have continually had problems with screens popping up in the middle of work for no reason at all. One prime example is the "call screen" pops up in the middle of a vt100 emulation session and is sometimes nearly impossible to get rid of. Was there some kind of path sent out by AT&T to cover this problem? Support on this product was the worst of any computer I've ever had...and the support was supplied by AT&T not some third party. -- Jacques Cazier (713)-333-0966 {decvax,philabs}!linus!mbunix!jak or jak@mbunix.mitre.org

The fixed version of async_main is also supplied with FixDisk2 aka kernel ver 3.51m . All you had to do was call the AT&T Hotline and ask (and beg and explain it was free and ... :-) FixDisk2 is available for electronic download from several places. -Don
