Nevermind, it was the fan.  Already ordered one.

Heck, these AS800 disks are easy to pull anyway.

This baby has a 4.5" fan ducted cool the processor.

You people don't place much value on your own time, do you?

Some of us are retired.  Canasta and shuffle board pall pretty quickly. 
  Frankly, tormenting telemarketers sounds like fun!

Bill and I have exchanged some private e-mail on this.

If you can make the case to law enforcement, there may be a way to build
a case against persistent DNC list offenders.

I just posted to to my freeware area some DCL code I used back in early
1994 to effect the procesution of some juveniles who were committing
telephone harassment. Creative use of VMS to assist law enforcement, at
the very least. The effort was successful.

Look for phonecop.zip at http://www.djesys.com/freeware/vms/

  Thanks - I appreciate the posting.  Similar text appears in several
different manuals, but unfortunately all it tells you is which
connector you should plug your cable into.  It doesn't say anything
about how the cable is wired.

  BTW, can anybody identify the type of these connectors on the
H7874?  They look a little bit like RJ45s, but they have a completely
different contact arrangement.

Bob
