I logged in on this machine (root password is mrroot...), and didn't
see any obvious hardware problems in the /usr/adm/messages files.
While looking around, I saw that 'mkserv remote' was the only thing
in /site/server/.services-- therefore, 'mkserv print' was not used
to set this machine up. This means that the software on this machine
has been customized in a non-standard way. I saved a two obvious files
(/etc/printcap and staff_ln03filter)... files I saved are in
/mit/opdoc/pl3-470-1.
  If the disk gets replaced, or of we need to reinstall software, we
will not be able to "support" this workstation, since it is not standard.
I suggest we try to find out why it keeps rebooting *before* we call
DEC to look at it, since the problem might be caused by software.
