I believe the locking up syndrome is do to the ph driver.  That piece of
code seems to be full of hacks.  I wish someone at AT&T would either make
the source code available (cheap enough for us) so we as developers, 
consultants, hobbiests, etc.. can fix the kludgy code once and for all.

I have been running 3.51a for about 3 months now and it seemed to be
very stable, at least until tonight.  The usual symptoms UUCP calling
(or terminating), screen hangs up, and WORKING icon blinks on forever and
ever.  The only recourse is to RESET.

I doubt it.  The latest fixdisk is the 3.51a kernel one.
