Has anyone found any solutions, or persuaded HP to fix it? Thanx, --Steve Bellovin The current status is that HP is VERY aware of the problem. Numerous verbal communications have taken place and a letter was drafted with the complaints. HP says that new firmware should be available sometime in Sept to correct shortcomings. ( If not, Dave Packard is going to hear 'bout this one to see about terminal exchange for 2621A's )
