The 30-40 minutes of being down was due to me having dinner, once I noticed it, I only had to copy startup.server3 to startup.cmd, setup.server3 to setup.cmd, and ibmlan.server3 to ibmlan.ini and reboot the DEC PC. Arent I glad I keep backups, and the email is stored on a different drive :-) So the Pentium 3 is retired until I re-image C drive, and everythings running on an old Digital Equipment Corp Pentium 200 PC , which is my backup server :-) I dont think anyone in the outside world will really notice the difference, not like I'm running Windows or anything.
