- The A2232 should work fine in an A3000 (we use them here all the time).
- I would suspect the software accessing the A2232 first (terminal program or
- GPFax). Also try running enforcer to see if anything is getting hits (note
- that the program mentioned by enforcer is not always the cause - if something
- trashes memory it doesn't own, anything can die, and filesystems are pretty
- easy targets for memory trashing.)
-
- That's all I can think of given the information supplied.
