Otherwise Power off and back on to restart. ---------------- I also have 7 floppies full of core dump. So. We know it has something to do with an attempt to do things with a local (workstation) serial port through FoxPro. That's about it. What do I do with these disks. Where in the world of Novell tech support do we go with this? Are they gonna want us to pay them before they look at it (which would be really rude) or what? Let me know. Please. This hasn't happened before, nor has it happened since. We have 3.11 and will be upgrading soon. But I still want to know what's up. ALSO: Could someone mail me anything they've saved of the discussion of a while ago about using the Packet Drivers, including problems, etc., and where to GET them from. Anyway, thanks much. I appreciate whatever you can tell me. JB --------------------- Rich Segal - K.L. Ginter and Associates, Inc., Beltsville, MD. 301) 890-1600
