However, you mention that you have to disconnect.. This is not nessecarily true; I have many times been able to successfully wake up the VAX after a lock-up with a simple BREAK (not Ctrl-C, but the serial line break ala the SD light is on for .5 seconds) followed by a Control-C or two.. -brian [log in to unmask]
