Oh tell me about it. We have a bunch of HP LC3s and that issue is a big
pain in the neck.

One big issue was with some KVM switches the servers would not start
posting unless that server was the active channel on the KVM... So much
for remote administration.

we use HP a lot, ain't seen much issues with them.
With compaq I mostly have to renew all raid controllers before day one
is over, after the finally run they run fine..

LOFL! We currently have HP NetServers, and they are a complete joke. I
have never seen more server related issues than HP. We have moved to
Dell, and I can say that we are very pleased with the relability from
Dell. Of course, I cannot say anything bad about Compaq. Don't get me
started with IBM.

Gee Steve, could you be talking about me?
You know many people still love things that are bad for them, smoking,
gambling, excessive drinking, HP Servers, etc. So I don't hold your
comments
against you. I know that one day you'll stop and say "How could I have
been
so blind for all these years, these Compaqs are the best!"
And when you do I will welcome you with open arms ;-)
