There have been several mentions of fuses blowing. But no one has said what caused the fuses to blow. Does anyone know what happened? I would doubt that the problem was a freak event, since two suits had fuses fail. It seems to me that a fuse blowing usually means that something else failed and the fuse was sacrificed to save the rest of the system. -- ---Ben Levy FTP Software Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Member of the International Amoeba Society: "United We Stand, Divided We Multiply"
