People who send flames or retorts to flames are just like people who blow
themselves up in terrorist attacks: they think they're getting revenge, when
really they're the cause of the problem.
If it ain't Cisco-related, keep it private. 'Nuff said.

Did you guys read what happened to me when i freaked at someone like that?
Take a look at the thread "how to track down unused ports on a switch "
and then stop ripping on people who flame you for saying something stupid.
or.
stop saying stupid things.
or
just keep your mouth shut if you cant say anything useful.
BTW, d0rk, i can establish an IP connection to the AUX interface via the AUX
interface/PPP. isnt that an interface?
if all the interfaces fail that wouldnt work either.
stop being dicks.
Love,
Peter Slow.
