I received replies from the following 4 people:
Peter.Sommerlad@zfe.siemens.de
Kenneth.Erickson@Eng.Sun.COM
chris@tisc.edu.au
mvanderv@glenayre.com
Both of my problems were fixed due to the help of this group.
My first problem:
1) System crashes
Kenneth gave me some things to try but said he was pretty sure it
was hardware. He was right. We had the main board swapped out
& the system hasn't crashed since.
2) Slow & strange Mailtool
Mike posted not only to the group but also to me on the necessity of
installing the rest of the Openwin patches. I was merrily patching
away and after about 6 patches I had to use my Mailtool. And the
problem was fixed! I think the patch that solved the problem was:
100492-10 (olwm patch)
Thanks again to everyone!
