The seriousness of the situation is hard to ascertain without looking at it, I'm sure. Network hardware repair is, at best, difficult. I suggest you check your connections. If you find no problems there, take the keyboard out again and examine the area around your E key and the leads involved, checking for scratches or breaks. Or maybe even a piece of cotton stuck up under your E key... you never know... UUCP: {rosevax, crash}!orbit!pnet51!shawn INET: shawn@pnet51.cts.com
