Recently, we seem to have started having problems with the slide lock that connects the AUI drop cable from the CISCO router to the transceiver. Periodically, the Cisco will start reporting: %LANCE-5-LOSTCARR: Unit 0, lost carrier. Transceiver problem? There is nothing visibly wrong with the slide lock on the transceiver, but if I fiddle with it, the errors always seem to go away. I assume therefore the slide lock is at fault, though if anyone has other suggestions, please let me know. I recall that some time ago, there was a discussion in this newsgroup about problems with slide locks. Perhaps someone kept an archive of this that they could mail me? I am particularly interested in methods of replacing the slide lock altogether - I believe one or two people said this was possible. Since this has already been thrashed out recently, please email responses. I will summarize if it seems appropriate. Adrian Miranda uunet!clark!ade or ade@clark.edu
