I have a phone connected to line 1, which is voice by default but is sometimes used for outgoing data connections. Seemingly randomly, when I pick up the phone itself to make an outgoing call, the line clicks between idle and active, thus preventing an outgoing call. At other times, when I pick up the phone the line stays idle and I can call out just fine. I thought I had the problem resolved by changing some of the telephone hardware setup settings, but it came back. Has anyone seen this, and/or have any ideas on what's going on here? Thanks in advance. On a separate note, someone a while back noticed their time display on the top line disappearing. I had a similar problem, and found that 'smgr' was dying (not cron). At any rate, I recently installed 3.51 (thanks again, Lenny!), and have not lost the time display since...

Actually SOMETIMES that happens. I have YET to be able to figure out WHY. This poor box has so many little bugs... ug! Gee, wouldn't it be NICE if we had access to the SRC CODE for UA? It would be nice to see some changes, etc. I wonder if AT&T or anyone out there has either thought of or is working on such a project of replacing the UA? The trouble is: the UA is a decent interface. It has a lot of usefulness. So it's sort of like being between a rock and a hard place. Limits multiuser security anyways. Blah blah blah... Anyhow, any news of the new 'fix-disk' being released at some point, or is this another GAG that AT&T is playing? I recall hearing of a 'C' fix-disk... but apparently it turned out that there were several 'bugs' with the 'fixes' so no go. Sheese! Have a good one! Forrie
