I didn't notice that it had crashed until someone tried to check their mail, as it didn't make any real noise. Is there any way to set FBSD up to start beeping like mad when it gets a kernel panic, so that at least if someone is around, they are made aware of the machine's distress and given a chance to write down the console messages? Thanks for any help. Nick Grayphics http://www.grayphics.com/
