                      BRAVO LP LOCKS UP WITH INTEL TOKEN EXPRESS CARD

    PROBLEM:        When using the Token Express card, the Bravo LP system
                    periodically hangs while loading NEXT.EXE and logging into the
                    server. The system also hangs if the Token Express drivers,
                    version 1.1, are loaded while running Setup.

    CAUSE:          The Token Express card, part number 308314-002, has a timing
                    problem causing missing interrupts.
