- Well we do the same, however I did see some problems once upon
- a time. Somebody was working at the console using restore if I remember
- correctly, the screen went blanked and no amount of input could restore
- it. I had to rlogin to kill screenblank and then everything started
- working normaly. This has occured twice on a 4/390 running 4.1.1.
