That is an option that we're prepared to take if we have to, but we 
believe that >if< the problem is software related that it will be in a 
driver or somewhere in the transport layer or something like that and 
not with the operating system itself.

Comspec was one of the first things that I thought of and we played 
around with a few ideas with the command interpreter but that didn't 
solve the problem. 
When we did the installation I had brought a guy in to tailor the cable. 
He's between jobs right now so I figgered I was doing him a favour. 
After talking with him last night I suspect that he didn't follow the 
standard colour-coding when he attached the connectors. I'm going to 
roll up my sleeves and get down there myself to see what I can see and 
just to make sure that he tried all the things that he said he tried.

Thanks anyway. Take care and TTYL.
