- That's funny, I have not seen this happen. I have a machine at home that
- is connected to the office via SLIP and the link goes down all the time.
- (Noisy phone lines, I suspect...) I usually have Eudora checking my

- crash the Mac environment. Now, perhaps your scenario is that you are
- starting up a new MacTCP application that tries to initialize a socket and
- that causes the crash.. I don't know..
-
- If anyone else sees this, please let me know the exact circumstances so
- that I can track it down and fix it if that's possible.
