Hi, I'm having some problems with my Boca Board BB2016 (I think that's the type, 16 port dumb serial). Almost every time I have to cold-boot the machine, which happens maybe three/four times a year, the Boca board seems to have lost about half of it's ports. Which ports are gone is seemingly random, but most that are gone are in the 1-8 region. Untill now I could solve this by waiting for about 15 minutes, and then performing a warm reboot. Today this didn't help anything. About 8 ports were gone, and no reboot helped anything. After a reboot there were still about 7-10 ports gone, in random order. I decided to take the box apart, put it in the fridge for a fast cooling, and when it was cold connected it again and rebooted. All of a sudden things seemed to work again. (No it's not my habbit to put inoperative equipment in the fridge, but it seemed like a fast way to cool it down ;-) Does the above problem sound familiar to someone, and if so, is there a way to make sure the board will work even when it's hot and the machine power cycles ? I'm running FreeBSD 2.1R on this machine. Thanks, - Rob. /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\ /* Rob Simons | rob@simplex.nl *\ /* ------------ | ------------- | -------- | ------- *\ /* Novell Netware System Operator | UNIX system operator *\ /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\
