Hi Scott,

Nothing suspicious in /var/adm/SYSLOG.  The only thing useful I
could see in /var/adm/crash was something called availreport, which
reads

SERIALNUM|690D0A81

That about sums it up: event "unknown".  I looked at savecore using
chkconfig, and it is on.  However, I did not see any core file in
/var/adm/crash.

The grounding wire and Craylink cables look fine.

So, I'm stumped as to what happened.  Whatever it was, it hasn't
affected shoestring's performance.  It cranked away all day making
ocean forecasts.  Science is cool, huh huh huh.. 

I saw a whale right after supper tonight; hopefully he will bring
us good luck!
