Thanks to everyone who sent me reports of their problems with the Unix-pc
locking up.  This appears to be a widespread problem and is being looked
into by AT&T software engineers.  The engineers have asked me a question
which I have never checked during a lockup and I thought that some of you
who are experiencing the problem could check this out the next time the
problem occurs.

During lockup, keyboard input is typically ignored.  The question is: Do
the Caps-Lock and Num-Lock lights work (ie come on and off) when the machine
has crashed?  Mail me the results if you [unfortunately] get the opportunity
to verify this.

I'll keep these newsgroups posted of any future results.
