Hi,
Stan's work with the monitor is certainly helpful.  My theory that a
single maint-failure caused a self-test was based on the fact that
the logging in the p4200 (T 2) would show a single maint-fail and then
go into self-test.  Also, the Statistics counters climb in sequence.
Now, clearly, this could just be that no one bothers to report a maint-fail
condition until 3 maint-tests have failed in a row, but I haven't been
able to get confirmation of this from Proteon.

Next week we will be taking Torben's advice (and Stan's also) and spend
a lot of time on our cables.  I'm a little concerned because I think that
Stan has already done this at NYSERNet and it hasn't helped them, but it
sure won't hurt to try.
        Many thanks for the help,
                              Cliff
