We show –using both, a theoretical a m approximation and numerical simulations– that there is a shift of the transition - as the noise departs from the Gaussian behavior. Also, we confirm the reentrance d effect found for colored Gaussian noise and show the behavior of the transition n o line in the phase-like diagram as the noise departs from Gaussianity in the large c correlation time limit.
