20 years ago a reboot usually cleaned up a lot of problems. i haven't rebooted an 81 in 10 years during a maint problem. on a upgrade, of course.. these don't work like nt servers, you sorta need to fix the problem, nortels not going to fix it on a reboot. depending on the err codes, a reboot may do the system down thing real well, just never do the system back up worth a darn.. i did a er repair callout on a sunday, cust rebooted sat night due to a power change, we got it back up monday afternoon after 6 trips to the airport to get parts
