However, I checked with the hotline about this problem and received a replacement IC for the board. After the upgrade the problem is still with me. Today for example, I arrived to find my status line message area filled with a solid reverse video bar!. I logged into the Office and entered Unix. Got a ksh prompt and typed "ps -e" which did not echo!!! - but the command ran. Typed "ps -e" again - no echo but command executed. Typed "ps -e" a third time and system hung and I had to reboot :-(. I never did get to try and see what Msg might have told me. After reboot, everything works fine once again with no signs of the problem anywhere. Anyone have any other clues? -- Jeffery Small (203) 776-2000 UUCP: uunet!---\ C. Jeffery Small and Associates ihnp4!--- hsi!cjsa!jeff 123 York Street, New Haven, CT 06511 hao!noao!---/
