Mine hang about for anywhere from a day to three days before they finally drop off. Since they do drop off in the end (I guess the lbolt that they're waiting on finally hits) there must be a way to force them out by making the lbolt arrive sooner, right? I asked Sun and they said basically "reboot." (Great answer >:-( ) So thought I'd ask the public. [[ We've been discussing that quite a bit lately. I don't think there is a *safe* way to do it, but maybe someone will prove me wrong (God knows people have proven me wrong before! (-: ). --wnl ]] 2) Has anyone found a source for single-port ThinNet repeaters? (that is, a one-port DEMPR for you ex-Dec-ies) How much? 3) Thanks everyone who answered my inquiries about DNI -- I used your answers to hit my Sun rep over the head, and got a tape hand delivered a few days later! de voice: 408-429-2630 fax: 408-429-2730 email: root@helios.ucsc.edu root@portal.bitnet
