the other day i did a remote login to my 3b1
(40Meg/3.51/HDB installed) i did a mailx command, at which
point the screen locked. hitting <DEL> several times
produced a stream of 'R' characters. i disconnected and
tried to log in again. i connected, but all i got was a
couple of 'R's again and then lockup. trying a third time
to login, the modem would not answer.
got home and logged in. there was an inverse video block
where the mail-envelope normally is. otherwise, thing were
running okay. a uugetty was running, so everything seemed
fine. trying to cu to the vaxen at work produced the following:
ME: cu dk
3b1: trying modem /dev/ph1 (etc...)
(here modem click)
3b1: CONNECTED
3b1: Carrier Lost (or something like that)
3b1: DISCONNECT (all within 1-2 seconds)
killing the uugetty, waiting for it to respawn, and retrying
produced the same results. cycling power cleared the
problem out.
any ideas? questions? WAGs? :-)
thanx for the help,
