We have 2 of the awful beasties here and I have to say that they are the most difficult, X terminals around to setup... mostly because they are _Very_ poorly documented. One thing that I finally found our from our techno-droid inside big blue is that you MUST have SQE on your thick ethernet for the X station to boot. If you are getting the '8803' ethernet error, this is probably the cause. And now a question: I'm getting the error can't read configuration file. I assume that this is a TFTP permissions problem, but it only happens on one of the two XStations... --Mike Cuddy "...He's a UNIX hack and he's okay, he works all night and he sleeps all day..."
