mike,
how you traced it to this one?
I haven't heard even once that regreads and writes could interfear like this the normal logon process...
if it would be a perm. problem, then the script you had would never exit...

I quess, the cause is somewhere else...
what happens if you leave that part fully out of your script?
does the problem disappear?
if so, could you send your script to the board for examination?

cheers,
