We had similar problems running eports 1.1 on our network, except it showed up as printers mysteriously disabling. Right now, our standard 3B2 configuration is eports 1.2 (from diskette). However, eports 1.2 is still not perfect - it has some problems with flow control when talking to various non-AT&T machines. We have had a beta 1.3 running successfully for a while on one of our test machines, and just received the official 1.3 version (although we haven't really tested it yet). You might want to contact your AT&T sales rep if you want this version. As far as pumping the board, I'm afraid I don't quite remember the syntax either (I'm at home now without access to manuals). I do know that the code to be downloaded is in /lib/pump/eports. What does /etc/pump do? -- Kevin Darcy, Asst.
