get into 'diag' mode on the MAX. In this case, you will likely have to NINDY the MAX in order to restore good code onto your flash. NINDY is an 'undocumented' engineering procedure that involves opening the case and shorting specific pins during a hard reboot. This enables you to get into DF mode where you can Xmodem a TAOS file into flash. Sometimes, it works and sometimes it doesn't and could render your MAX inoperable. It will also void any warranty (not an issue w/ the 4000, though) or extended contract agreement. You should be able to find the NINDY procedure by searching the Inet. Otherwise, you can send it in for repair or maybe someone else has a better idea. Good Luck, David Pascarella CCNP MCSE LCTE A+ Network Support Engineer SOLUServe TAC 1571 Robert J.
