Re: Odd DSPF Problem

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can't say this for Affirmative (problem was on diff brand), but you will 
find a version of telnet is being used, and in our case it was "very old".
Our problem was in move from model 800 to the 520. No program changes.
Had to do something like a bios update to a later (but still old) version.
We eventually dumped the thin clients for reliability problems.
