I know there are quite a few Excelan installations out there from the number of 
responses to recent messages--hopefully someone can shed some light on 
a new problem with our Excelan board/EXOS software--specifically when 
using TELNET.

We had the board installed on a VAX 11/785 with no problems.  Last weekend, we
had it moved to a different 11/785 in the cluster.  No software move was
involved--just starting it up in a different section of startup.  Now the 
problem...Monday a.m. users started complaining of *random* transposed 
characters and garbage on the screen when using TELNET to get to the suns or 
hypercube.  It happens whether the user is hard-wired, DECNETed, or attached 
through broadband SYTEK to the VAX CPU.  We have checked the cabling to the 
board (DEC field service says it looks fine), and have tried re-installing and 
linking the driver.  The board should have the same address on both systems, 
so that is not a problem.

We are out of ideas and getting ready to order a replacement board.  Does
anyone have any experience with a problem like this or even any suggestions??
