Hi,

I've used the later versions on Linux and there is a diagnostic executable
which I run every 5 minutes from a script which sends email to my cell
phone if the condition changes. Perhaps DPT has something like that on the
FreeBSD side or you can cat /proc something to get the status...I would
call them and escalate, the first 2-3 techs won't have a clue what you're
talking about...

Take care,
Randy Katz
