More info. Novell is running, the tape backup runs fine during the
night, then when users show up, it "locks up". That means that the
workstations stop receiving anything from the LAN, the keyboard
doesn't work, and if monitor is running with the screen saver, the
"snake" freezes. 

With no way to talk to it, I have to flip the big red reset switch.
Then if I leave it off for a minute or so, and bring it back up, it
will lock again soon. Even if I down it, exit to dos, and reboot. The
only consistent solution is to leave it powered off for five minutes
or so, then turn it back on.

Question that bothers me is, if it is a thermal problem, why doesn't
it fail during the backup itself, why wait until the next morning when
users are coming on line?

Thanks for any advise.
