Please do the kindness of describing your configuration when
requesting assistance.  OS level and what type of software you are
running (in this case Vanilla vs. HDB UUCP, though one could guess :-)
as well as other possible items such as memory configuration and the
peripherals that are directly involved.  Info about the remote machine
could be useful too.

Many times a problem can be directly related to the OS version, or the
lack (or usage of :-) fixdisks.
