   Is it common knowledge that pressing the 'Pause' key on a Compaq or Dell
386 running Uport 386 will cause a system panic?  One of our user's who
is new to Unix found this one day.  He said he was starting to get his 
confidence up with using Unix so he decided to try out a few things.  Next
thing he knows the computer is yelling at him and panicing and trying to 
write 938 pages.  He assumed his printer was broken.
    Well I tried it and wouldn't you know, Panic city.  Not a pretty sight.
