   Our ProNET-80 ring has experienced the problem. It has not been 
 resolved yet.  I too would like Proteon to explain the problem in
 great detail and present, if there is one, an effective solution.
 
 Questions:
   
   .  What cause the p3280 or ProNET-80 CTL-card out of alignment?
   
   .  Why they become out of alignment so easily?
   
   .  Why they have problems with those characters like x33?
   
   .  What is the quick and effective way to find which p3280 or CTL
      card among the many on the ring already out of alignment?
      
   .  Is it true that Proteon, concentrating on FDDI replacing ProNET-80, 
      does not give full effort in resolving the problem?
      
   .  Should a customer without hardware maintenance agreement for 
      those out-of-aligned units pay for the repair cost?
