I have posted before and many times seen receive and send lights running continuously just after a hangup and especially if output was being done to the modem. This time, it ran continuously for minutes. Both received data and send data LEDs are almost solidly. A "ps -ef" showed a csh was up on the tty and a kill of it seems to have fixed the problem. I'm going to set up a spy cable so I can monitor the problem (and others) from a terminal, but my guess is that the the modem maybe sent the string "DISCONNECTED" or something, the driver echoed it back (it's full duplex after all) and the modem echoed it back, ad infinitum. Is anyone else seeing stuff like this? Since Microport started running their BBS, I presume they started taking the serial driver problems more seriously :-) -- -- uunet!sugar!karl
