I've got the sam problem, but only with **one** application -- Shiva's NetSerial. When I attempt to access the NetSerial modem on my SE/20 (2.5 MB), it goes into the continious diskacess cycle. When I exit VersaTerm (my NetSerial application), the accesses stop. This also happens on a coworker's SE/20 (same memory, same vintage), but not on the local MacWizard's 5 MB II. ??????????? -- Elliott Frank ...!{hplabs,ames,sun}!amdahl!esf00 (408) 746-6384 or ....!{bnrmtv,drivax,hoptoad}!amdahl!esf00 [the above opinions are strictly mine, if anyone's.] [the above signature may or may not be repeated, depending upon some inscrutable property of the mailer-of-the-week.]
