Finally a problem simple enough that i know the answer.
The problem appears in DEC bridges that have v2.0 of the rom software. There is
a new set of roms that fix the problem. Unfortunately the FCO for this rom
change is still not out so your field service rep will have to special order the

ROMs. We have 19 brdiges here and our filed service rep can only order 3 sets of

ROMS at a time. It is taking a while to get them replaced. If you have RBMS I
can send you a com file I got at DECUS that will go out and check to see what
bridges have the problem and then send you a mail message and/or send the
commands to clear the bridges (you set a flag in the comfile as to the action
you want taken.)
