Tony,

   What firmware version do you have on your zx2000?  I saw the same
problem with my zx2000 running firmware 2.21 and was hacking at a work
around, when I realized version 2.31 is available on the HP website.
After upgrading, I don't see the hang any more.  Bjorn mentioned that he
hasn't been able to reproduce the problem on his zx2000, probably
because he has the latest firmware.  Please check and let us know.
Thanks,

	Alex
