Question terminal/port (serial) lock up mystery! SCO 5.0

Sorta new to Unix. great site here.

I have SCO server with (5) 16 port Digi-boards and 5 line printers. For 3 years we've had no problems, till now... All of a sudden I get terminals and printers locking up. Killed the PID's for these particular situations. No help. So I disable the tty post adn re-enable it. No deal. Seems the only way to get the post back online is to re-boot.
Where should I be looking to figure out what the problem is?

Thanks in advance!Smilie

NAME
xprehashprinterlist - Recomputes the list of available printers. SYNOPSIS
xprehashprinterlist [-v] [-h] DESCRIPTION
xprehashprinterlist causes all Xprint servers to recompute (update) their lists of available printers, and update the attributes for the printers. The intended usage of this tool is that a system administrator can run it after changing the printer topology. OPTIONS
-v generate verbose output -h | -? print usage ENVIRONMENT
XPSERVERLIST ${XPSERVERLIST} must be set, identifying the available Xprint servers. See Xprint(7) for more details. EXAMPLES
Update the list of available printers % xprehashprinterlist -v would print: Rehashing printer list on server 'meridian:34' NOTES
xprehashprinterlist rehashes all printer lists of all print servers. Alternatively xset rehashprinterlist may be used to rehash only the list of printers in one print server. SEE ALSO
