Well, all of a sudden, my Sun 3/60 (running 3.4) started to crash whenever anyone tries to print a file. Any ideas?

For some reason, in 3.4, custom kernels can crash when you use the serial ports. Don't ask me why, but a generic (or nearly so) kernel doesn't display this problem. By the way, the problem is only seen in 3/60s, I think. Fixed in 3.5 (when did you last hear that one 8^). Scott Menter Sr. Network Administrator Shearson Lehman Hutton escott@shearson.com
