- I know DECserver 90's are completely different from 'normal' DECservers (100,
- 200, 300, 500, 700s), but you may be having a problem with too many LAT
- retransmits. Increasing your retransmit limit, if this DECserver has such an
- adjustment, may take care of your problem. Also consult the Problem Solving
- Guide, which is included with other DECserver documentation kits, and may
- be part of the 90's documentation kit.
-
- Also check with the CSC or your local office's field service to ensure you have
- the most up-to-date ROMs in your DECserver 90 - some of the earlier ROMs had
- their little quirks.
