Over the last couple of years I have become absolutely superstitious about the importance of the shield connection. Every time I have had a problem, it has been fixed by either 1) throwing out a cable with the push-on connectors and replacing it with a screw-on cable, or 2) using a wrench on the screw-on, rather than just finger-tightening it. If you want good pictures, you'll have to accept that you'll need a wrench whenever you want to mess with your cabling. Doug Pardee -- Terak Corp. -- !{hao,ihnp4,decvax}!noao!terak!doug
