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 :( ----------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Olsson Email: pol@leissner.se Leissner Data AB Telnr: 0520 - 490 511 direkt Box 912 Telnr: 0520 - 200 00 v{xel 461 29 TROLLH[TTAN Faxnr: 0520 - 200 89
