Patch Name:  PHNE_2275

Patch Description: Fixes snap3179g problem when entering PA3 key many times.

When users press the PA3 (or other attention keys) many times, snap3179g
used to buffer them up and send them all to the host. Certain host
applications don't like this, and end up sending invalid data streams
back to snap3179g. So now snap3179g doesn't buffer the PA keys.
Instead it locks the keyboard and beeps if users press PA keys more
than once before the host responds.

After getting the patch onto your machine, unshar the patch (sh PHNE_2275).

To install this patch do the following:
1) Run /etc/update (Note: you must be logged in as root to update
   a system).
2) Once in the update "Main Menu" move the highlighted line to "Change
   Source or Destination ->" and press "Return" or "Select Item".
3) Make sure the highlighted item in the "Change Source or Destination"
   window is "From Tape Device to Local System ...", then press "Return" or
   "Select Item".
4) You should now be in the "From Tape Device to Local System" window.
   Change the "Source:  /dev/rmt/0m" to "Source: /tmp/PHNE_2275.updt"
   (this assumes that you are in the /tmp directory where PHNE_2275.updt
   has been placed).  Note: You must enter the complete path name.
5) Press "Done".
6) From here on follow the standard directions for update.

The customized script that update runs will move the original software
to /system/PHNE_2275/orig.  HP recommends keeping this software there in
order to recover from any potential problems.  It is also recommended that
you move the PHNE_2275.text file to /system/PHNE_2275 to be retained for
future reference.

If you wish to put this patch on a magnetic tape and update from the tape
