It will still freeze on startup most times, only sometimes it somehow "makes it through" the initialization phase, kicking itself all the way to actually working. Do you have any idea how to get some additional information out of the frozen box? I wish I could see a backtrace or something to have an avenue for investigation, but no such luck. -- Mark Evenson <evenson@panix.com> "A screaming comes across the sky.
