I wrote you an e-mail on Saturday morning about problems in our workstation (telac.mit.edu).
The workstation is working again now after we tried to reboot it last night. When somebody
from your office (HOTLINE) came by this morning, she found that the machine is working.
Unfortunately, I was not there to explain her the 'sporadic' problems we are having.
I got to the lab about 2 minutes after she had left.
I would like to include a portion of the systemm error message
logged in /usr/adm/syserr directory. The error happened just this morning.

--------------etc.... THE LIST CONTINUES UNTIL ENTRY NUMBER 41 (41 MESSAGES SIMILAR TO THE ONES
LISTE ABOVE)
This is the type of error we are having on our machine. The latest mesasage we got was this
morning. Again, although the machine seems to be 'O.K' now, (although I am not the expert
on this) I believe there are still some problems. It is really annoying to get problems like
this.
I will be in my lab until around 3:00 PM today if you find that there are more serious problems
in the machine.
Thanks,
