(Or else, there are a some >hardware bugs.) Well this explains what that occassional loud squwak (SP?) sound was that I used to get. I also had occassional crashes with "PANIC: kernel addressing error" (or something close to that). But I called AT&T and got a new mother board and I haven't had any of those symptoms since. No squacking, no crashes for about a month now. Previously I noticed a sqauck about once a week. Sometimes the squacks would come in a group with 3 or 4 squacks within a 10 minute period. It also seemed like they would be at full volume, no matter where my volume control was set. They would happen even when I wasn't at the computer, with nothing running (though it's possible that there were incomming calls to the modem at the time). After explaining all this, I'm not sure if my problem was the same as described, but it certainly seems like it was related. Marnix --- -- Marnix (ain't unix!)
