I've discovered a problem that using VP/ix on an ESIX system console causes network connections to die. I've just talked to ESIX tech support -- they said they have never seen it before, but will look into it. What with the u-area bug (they said two weeks away, BTW), they probably won't get to my problem too soon; so, I decided to ask the net. Here's the problem: I have a 33 MHz 386 running ESIX rev. D with a Western Digital card connected to a Sony workstation over thin ethernet. Everything works fine until I start up VP/ix (ISC ver. 1.2) on the ESIX system console. After that, the network connections all die -- NFS, rlogin, telnet, ping, etc quit working! This does not happen if I run VP/ix from an attached terminal or over the network, say the Sony rlogined to the ESIX box. Does anyone else have this problem? Please respond by email to: joyco@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu Thank you.
