     PREMIUM EXEC/ADV-NB 386SX/25 LOCKS AFTER SUSPEND WHILE IN DOSSHELL


PROBLEM:       The system will lock-up after the suspend feature is
               initiated, while in DOSSHELL.

CAUSE:         The BIOS has been determined to be the cause of the
               malfunction.

SYSTEMS
AFFECTED:      Premium Exec 386SX/25 and the ADV-NB 386SX/25.

SOLUTION:      A newer BIOS would fix this issue.  However, there are no
               plans to turn a new BIOS in the forseable future for these
               products.
