Joe is absolutly right. I also have had lots of complains about locked
up sessions with kermit 3.15, since we put a new 3com corebuilder 3500
in duty. Working with kermit worked, as long as you did not leave the
pc for about 10 minutes. The pc seemed like frozen, but actually was
alive, as was the connection on the workstation (DEC Unix) itself.
Strange!
But on last friday i updated the bios on the corebuilder 3500 (from
1.0 to 1.1.1 from the web site) and all my problems are gone! It was
in fact the new switch, we have put up on our lan (btw. otherwise the
switch works fine!).
Bye,
