I shot some messages through this list approximately a month ago. I wound up building my tree on my Miata and sending it over the net to the Multia. The best guess before was dodgy hardware, most likely the memory. I've been toying with buying new RAM, but true parity is a bit pricey right now. (And will continue to be so as things move toward SDRAM) 4.0 decreased the frequency of these reboots, but did not eliminate them as I had first thought. Due to time constraints I've not been able to play with the system recently. If any more info becomes available I'd love to hear it. - Bruce ______________________ Bruce M.
