oh yes, quite sure. erpcd might also be used to log errors, but it is definatly
needed to load the code at boot time.
no erpcd running = no boot. erpcd running = boot.

the problem (as solved mere packing-hours away from flight time :-) was an
error in the instructions for HP-UX compiling. a few extra steps were
inadvertantly left out.

>ps - ours are Annex I's
that must be the difference

i searched for a LOONG time for a new terminal server, the annex II is
a wonderful piece of machinery. i recommend it highly.
