I just upgraded to SCO 3.2.4, in a box which has run ODT 1.1 (SCO 3.2.2)
for months now without a burp.  Now I am continually getting panic type 0xE.

The machine has in it, a mono video card, an SMC Elite Plus (WD8013), and an
adaptec 1542 with one Fujitsu 330 meg HD, a Sankyo SCSI tape drive, and an
Equinox 24 port CS card.

One thing I noticed different is that the hardware config on bootup reports
the FPU on int 13 and the SCSI card at int 11 whereas the ODT reported int 15
and int 13 respectively.  This is not a problem however as the SCSI card _is_
int 11.

I suspect the Equinox card, which has driver rev 2.4.0, becuase the system
seems to panic mostly at night, when this system has an aggressive outdial
with 13 fax-modems on the Equinox card.

All SCO could say to me was to try swapping hardware, ignoring the fact that
this hardware worked fine for 3 months, until the day I upgraded to 3.2.4!!

What I really need to know is, has anyone had any similar experiences, or
trouble with the Equinox driver on 3.2.4??  I would ask them myself, but
they don't seem to answer their phone (probally because they can't even
find - or care about the phone at this time!!) - expectedly of course!
