We're experiencing a problem with the serial lines on our dn3000's and 4000's:
They're connected to our Gandalf PACX and should drop the line on logout,
causing the PACX to disconnect. Sometimes however, you return to the login
prompt again. Once this happens, it stays like that, and can only be cleared
by pressing the reset switch (shut doesn't clear it). This causes messy
behaviour when on a terminal, but interferes with Eudora (a Mac mailer that
communicates via telnet over our serial lines). Has anyone else experienced
this, or can offer a solution? (this is unpatched sr10.1, but the necessity of
the reset switch leads me to think this is related to the driver chip)
