We are experiencing problems using dni on our 4.0.1 386i's. Occasionally, when using dnilogin to a VAX (microvax or 8800) the SUN will lock up completely, no mouse movement etc. It needs to be <L1>A 'd and rebooted as there is no escape. Once a session is up & running, there is never a problem. If the machine is going to lock up, it always does so *before* printing the VAX login banner and prompt. We also had this problem with the beta dni/386i and on 4.0.0 machines. We notified SUN, but no explanation has been forthcoming, and there are now problems on a customer site....we can't wait any longer! Has anyone seen this problem before? know what it is, or have a workaround? As it is, we have nothing - no idea what it is, or how to stop it, so any ideas welcome. We reported the problem to sun first about 4-5 months ago, but they have always been unable to reproduce it, so there is no fix forthcoming. Thanks in advance, Roddy Manzie, Micrognosis International, London. roddy@uk.co.mic.lon roddy@miclon.uucp ...uunet!mcvax!ukc!pyrltd!miclon!roddy
