Hi Brian, I just wanted to respond to your message to clear up what I think was just a misunderstanding. This telnet/Sys7 problem *is* a serious problem because obviously it prevents our customers from using the software that we ship with the GatorBox. Also, even though it is most likely an Apple bug, we realize that we (Cayman) can respond faster than Apple. The nature of this problem was determined only yesterday. Since we're waiting for a response from Apple and since our engineering group hasn't completely evaluated the problem (as well as a potential fix), it would have been misleading to offer you a more definite time frame for a fix. Again I want to stress to you that this is a serious issue and that we will address it as soon as we can. I appreciate your patience and please feel free to contact me with any further questions or problems that you may have. Anyone else on this mailing list who has encountered this problem should send their email address to me so that I can notify you when we resolve the problem. -chris ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Chris North Internet:chris@cayman.com Cayman Systems Phone: 617-494-1999 FAX: 617-494-5167 26 Landsdowne Street Cambridge MA 02139 AppleLink: CAYMAN.TECH
