I know now that the serial cable is hooked up so I'll wait till I get home. I do recall that when Solaris would "halt" I would have to serial in and I think type "go" if I'm not mistaken -- then it would resume running. It was in a protective sleep mode if I recall and did not need to be rebooted. -- |<----------------------"Word-Wrap-At-72-Please"---------------------->| Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 -o) San Francisco CA 94121 /\ "UNIX, A Way Of Life." _\_v
