IIRC, it means two things. First, somebody powered up a workstation with a T-R adaptor somewhere in the ring -- this is pretty certain. Second, it means that your AS/400 is acting as a ring monitor and reporting conditions on the ring -- this is much more hazy in memory; I cannot positively recall if this message can be suppressed by turning off the monitor function nor can I recall exactly where this would be done. I do recall that years ago we had no good equipment to monitor our T-R and our AS/400 did a passable job at keeping us informed of conditions. We could _always_ tell when the IBM CE was servicing a PC with 4/16Mbps adaptor and powered it up with the wrong configuration. :-) Tom Liotta -- Tom Liotta The PowerTech Group, Inc. 19426 68th Avenue South Kent, WA 98032 Phone 253-872-7788 Fax 253-872-7904 http://www.400Security.com ___________________________________________________ The ALL NEW CS2000 from CompuServe Better!
