I bought my 7300 2 months ago and lately have had several crashes with the message: panic: NMI kernel parity error I am then able to reboot with no problems. The last time this happened immediately before the crash I got some strange error when trying to use the modem. Another, possibly unrelated item: I don't use ua for normal things and just use the function key to get the call screen menu. Last time, with the call screen running I returned to the login window and started ua, then when I exited ua - it also killed the call screen. Should this have happened? I am running 3.5, if that helps. -- marc gates johns hopkins applied physics lab, laurel, md UUCP: ...!seismo!umcp-cs!aplcen!aplvax!marc ARPA: marc@aplvax.arpa

If this happens with the standard AT&T hardware and software - e.g., not HDB or other "non-packaged" sw, and you didn't install a hard disk or make any other modifications that would invalidate your warranty - you should call AT&T customer support at (800) 922-0354. Panics are not normal ! C. Furchner ...ihnp4!mtune!mtunb!csf
