- Telebit tech support is aware of it and has offered some revised
- register settings. I haven't locked up since making the changes, but
- it has only been a day or two. I've heard of some other WB owners who

- it. Obviously, that should be one of the first steps because Telebit's
- tech support is STILL one of the best I've run across in my 20 years in the
- computer industry.
