Symptom 2 is an old problem that OR should have been
familiar with (And ideally provided a solution to). It only
happens at the restart of TS (4.0) BMI server.
When it does, shut-down the server (click the [x] button
and IMMEDIATELY restart BMI's server. After a few tries
it works (usually). If that fails turn the receiver off and
repeat.
Quirky cursor behavior happens very seldom and only on NT
startup.
(I suspect it has to do with keyboard/mouse driver problem).
Just reboot the computer.

2. With the box powered up I terminated the BMI server to
do some data
converting using the offline servers, then later reinitiated
the on-line BMI
server. It failed to connect to the box, continually
looping through the
various baud settings. I went through the recommended
procedure -
terminated the server, powered the box down, waited,
reapplied power,
re-executed the server, and all was OK.
3. Later, after more offline converting, etc., I rebooted
my computer with
the BMI box still up and running. As the desktop came up
(Win NT 4, SP5),
the cursor behaved strangely, moving in a very jerky fashion
and often
jumping around the screen without my touching the mouse.
Also, pop-up menus
would occasionally appear spontaneously, selection
rectangles would appear,
etc. etc.
I killed the BMI box and behavior returned to normal. I
rebooted again (to
be safe), repowered the box, reinitiated TS, and all is now
well - so far.

Thanks.
