The P100 has mac64, I don't know about the P75. Doesn't seem like this is
the problem (?)
A technician at Swedish ICL has exactly the same symptoms. He thougt it was
due to the P75 having only one serial port, so he tried setting in another,
but it didn't help. Then they wouldn't investigate any further, they instead
recommended a change to their supported unix-systems :(
