Has anyone experienced problems with the intelligent ports card for the 6386? Mine seems to lock up about every other day. Is there a way to clear it up without re-booting the machine? I recall having similar problems with 3B2 ports before release 3.0 of unix. Les Mikesell

Those before V2.1 were really flaky, and V2.1 is much more stable (so far as I've seen).

They will send you it if you call the hotline. This problem was in the 1.2, and 2.0 driver releases, it seems to be fixed in 2.1. -Lenny -- Lenny Tropiano ICUS Software Systems [w] +1 (516) 589-7930 lenny@icus.islp.ny.us Telex; 154232428 ICUS [h] +1 (516) 968-8576 {ames,talcott,decuac,hombre,pacbell,sbcs}!icus!lenny attmail!icus!lenny ICUS Software Systems -- PO Box 1; Islip Terrace, NY 11752
