Well it is weird, I will have to try your suggestions around 2AM
tommorrow morning. Since I am having to kill shut down sendmail, tar the
mail, kill the old server and move the cyclades card. I feel like it is
somewhere in the Cyclades driver. I tried last week to set up one of the
com ports on the new box, eventhough they are both 9 pin and I knew I
would get a bad cable or modem turned off error and it didn't kill the
system. It may be the Mainboard, but couldn't find anything about the
VXPRO chipset being bad at Linux HQ.

I wont hear until monday from Cyclades I would be willing to bet, I sent
the the /proc/pci @ /proc/interrupts stuff but obviously couldn't send
/etc/inittab report. What a deal.
								Thanks Mel
