One more question ... there are two monitors in this room, about 6-7 feet apart. The one near the outside wall is the one that "flickers" and goes black. The one 6-7 feet further in seems not to be effected at all. Both Monitors are on UPS (separate UPS for each system), and both UPS are plugged into the same wall socket. Does that information effect your thoughts on this issue in any way? Thank you Regards Fred James
Additional note ... the UPS supporting the blinking monitor also supports the desktop machine, and two network devices ... only the monitor (as far as I can tell) is suffering. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
