ypbind? Don't think I am running that. As for your observation about
NFS, I think that's the case here too.

As for shutting down: I can only press the halt button... I cannot
telnet to the vax, the console is dead. And, ehum, how does one grab a
VT on a DEC terminal? (Yes, sorry. I thought myself very clever when I
found out how to do ESCAPE on it! :-)

The funny thing is, for me, that the vax is still pingable, so the ze0
*is* responding. But no telnet, ftp or http, well only a connect
message, no more.
