QUESTION: SPARC 2 Failure

This question has been forwarded from a friend who's SPARCstation has
failed. I've included his email address in case someone wanted to send him
email directly rather than through me.

I might be inclined to think that this may be a malfunctioning keyboard
that may be causing this failure. I've seen a similar occurrence on a
SPARC 5.

Dose anyone have any ideas? Mucho appreciato.

4 keyboard indicate a system failure somewhere. I'm don't remember what
the light codes mean anymore so I don't know what died. There are 4 lights
in a row side-by-side (you know?) and the two lights farthest to the right
stay lit and the system hangs HARD! No keyboard functionality after the
hang or anything.

Managers, sorry for the late summary.

The overwhelming majority of people recommended hylafax, even though
it's not as straightforward a configuration as one might wish.

Other recommendations included: RightFAX (for NT!) and Omtool's fax
server.

Thank you to all the people who responded.

Dave.
