NW 5 Interrupt Assignment: 4

I am getting this message: Interrupt Assignment: 4

constantly scrolling on my server since I upgraded to NW5. I looked on Novell's website and found tid 2952022 which refers to this telling me that it is just an informational message about a modem. I don't have a modem in this server so do I need to be running AIOCOMX.NLM on this server? I am running version 2.18 of this NLM. My server has been updated with nw5sp2a. Any way to eliminate this constant scrolling message? What exactly is it trying to tell me. Thanks Bart

NW5 Interrupt Assignment: 4 Console Error (Last modified: 12MAR1999) TID2947502
This document (2947502) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.
Symptom
At the console of an NetWare 5 server, the following error is displayed:

Interrupt assignment:4

The number may refer to a different serial port, but is representative of the serial port to which the APC device is attached.
Solution
This problem can occur with APC Powerchute but other products may generate this error as well. For example, this same error has been seen on systems not runnng APC but running the GroupWise Async Gateway version 4.12 even though Com1 and Com2 were configured. For assistance with other problmes, please contact the apprpriate Technical Support channels for those products.

As for Powerchute, a server with APC Powerchute below version 4.3.2 may not function propelry with NetWare 5. This error message occurs when communication between the APC UPS and server COM port is interrupted, and may also occur PowerChute v4.3.2 (as noted in the 4.3.2 product documentation).

To contact APC for an update, please visit their web-site at:

http://www.apcc.com

Or contact Technical Support at 800-800-4272.
Causes
The version of Powerchute used is not compatible with NetWare 5.

Does not seem to be on Novell's web site. Still I supose they have to keep some things for the Support Connection CD or else what is the point in buying it.

Thanks to both of you. Powerchute was my problem, is there a reason though that Novell doesn't list this TID on there web sight? Also how can I obtain these cd's?
