Absolutely. I had a situation a few months ago where the Macintosh was totally frozen from the user's view (no mouse movement, no force quit, couldn't even get the monitor to come out of power-save mode, etc.) yet it was still answering pings. Pings are answered at a very low level of the TCP/IP stack and tell you nothing about whether applications are running or are responsive. -- Larry Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stonejongleux.com/ ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
