Ah, OK, so I got that backwards... So it's Tops-10 reporting a
malformed request from NML by crashing, then. Alright, it's a
misfeature.<br>
<br>
Did you happen to have a crash dump? I might like to take a look
after I get Kermit-20 behaving better (and after I figure out what's
what with K10MIT, sigh)<br>
<br>
100 students? That's all? Heh... I can't even remember how many
we had online with six 20's, but it didn't matter. If one of them
went out, you got your choice of machine room phone color: bright
red hot or white hot. Been there, done that. Glad I'm not doing
it any more.<br>
