Hi all,

I just accidenlty typed 'cat /usr/src' or something like into the terminal
window that I was using to control a Sparc classic that I've been running
headles, using 'tip -9600 /dev/term/b'  It beeped at me a few times, and I
hit 'Control C' but apparently not soon enough.  I couldn't get the terminal
to do anything, so I "~."ed out and then tried again, but all I get is a
message saying 'link down' after a few seconds and it kicks me out.  I
telneted into the classic and restarted it, hopeing that that would solve
the problem.  It hasn't.

What do I have to do now?

-Jonathan
