Convergent Technologies doesn't support these machines any more than AT&T 
does... In fact I doubt they could help you at all.  They would tell you to
call AT&T.  I would tell you to call AT&T!   Call 800-922-0354, and tell
the person that you want the UNIX PC Fixdisks which are available FREE OF 
CHARGE to any registered 3B1/UNIX pc/7300 user.  That will give you the 3.51a
kernel!

3.5.6D looks like a very old release of the 3.5 kernel.  If that's what it
is, and you're running it at AT&T, you're behind the times :-)  It sounds like
that is pretty useless to those running 3.51.
