1375.0. "DEFTAs seem to hang D5120 with ULTRIX v4.4" by BGO01::TERJESO () Tue Jun 14 1994 07:58

I have a customer with a D5120, ULTRIX v4.4 and a DEFTA, which act as a NFS-
server.  This system hangs intermittently with reboot as the only way to clear
the fault.  Nothing is written to the errorlog.  Can I find a patch to this 
anywhere or does the patched if_fza.o fix the problems related to DEFTAs too?  
Nearly the same problem is mentioned in note 1357 in this conferance but since
it has got no replies I choosed to write a new note.

1375.1Can an open DEFTA/FDDI-port cause hangs?BGO02::TERJESOTue Jun 14 1994 09:565
I have some additional info. about this problem.  After talking to the customer
today he mentioned that the FDDI-port had been unused/open during the period of
intermittent hangs.  I wonder if this could cause problems like this?

	This appears to be exactly the sort of behaviour I fixed in the
	replacement if_fta.o which should be available from the CSCs.
