BAD. Add a model 530 with 16meg to the list. I post about this (or something very similar) a couple of weeks ago. I did talk with software support but they were unable to help. They did suggest having our CE check trace data from the network card (token ring in our case) but I never got around to calling. Our solution: the problem "disappeared" after the system crashed while installing 3005 updates. I restored from backups (to 3003 and the problem was gone! I'm assuming some kind of software glich which appeared. We are now at 3005 with no problems. If someone does figure it out this inquiring mind would like to know what was/is going on as well. For now...the AIX gremlins (with deamons there's gotta be gremlins, right) fixed it!
