During the past several months, we have occasionally noticed ZZNET lock up,
and re-booting both the PC and the Aspect didn't fix the problem. Replacing
the parallel I/O card DID fix the problem, so we were wondering why the cards
kept going bad.

Recently, we've found that the bug can be fixed if we not only re-boot both
the PC and the Aspect, but ACTUALLY POWER OFF THE PC AND POWER IT BACK ON.
????? I presume some gate in one of the chips on the I/O card is occasionally
latching up under some conditions, and needs to be powered down/up to shake it
loose. Just thought I'd mention this, in case anyone else out there has
encountered this problem.
