Thanks,
Both these machines are on the network via cat5 and I can't
remember if I had to unplug the serial to reboot the FreeBSD box
before and not affect the Ultra-10 or what I did. I know now
that the serial cable is hooked up so I'll wait till I get home.
I do recall that when Solaris would "halt" I would have to
serial in and I think type "go" if I'm not mistaken -- then it
would resume running. It was in a protective sleep mode if I
recall and did not need to be rebooted.
