It might not be such a bad idea to go back to the old revision. I've had that problem with some video drives, in fact. It could also be maybe the hardware is intermitently failing. Although my internal modem on my 701 would never pass for a while in Easy Setup (this is before I got it EZServed), but for some reason, it then started giving me intermittent errors, and though I have not had system crashs, sometimes a particular email, or even a particular CGI script from my old ISP would crash the modem, and sometimes the modem would test out okay, and other times it would not. You may want to consider EZServ if you can be without the machine, or if you are like me, and absolutley CANNOT be without it, then try to arrange EZServ arround a vacation or non-busy time. > >I am glad to report that for the past day (consisting of 4 half-hour >to 2 hour online sessions), under similar conditions as before, I've >had no symptoms as described above *at all*.
