Good Morning Jim,

Thank you!  (blush - chuckle) It never occurred to me, to try telneting
to the Multia (Wavy tells me this is due to chromosome amnesia from the
'60s - snicker) and needless to say, it worked.

$ telnet 192.168.1.19

$ su
multia# 

On the P2 minicom (where I boot the Multia from and under the date where
I thought it was hung) I am getting (smile) abbreviated messages (like a
normal root window) in the form of a capital letter D when I 'su' under
telnet; example follows (I have four 'su' telnet sessions running): 

Local package initialization:.
starting local daemons:.
Fri Dec  4 13:32:40 GMT 1998   <---- where I thought it was hanging
DDDD                           <---- appear when I su from telnet

so it looks like some information is making back to the boot window.

Very Best2u,  curtis
