I get some long periods of timeout, but currently have an ssh session into the box. I don't know if this is going to be feasible... I've played a tad with plipconfig, upping nibble and trigger to 6000 and 1000 (twice their defaults) on both sides of the link. Frankly, I'm not sure if this helps or not. Hrm. Upped it again to 12000/2000. Definitely dicey. Again, thoughts appreciated. Peace. -- Karsten M. Self <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://kmself.home.netcom.com/ What Part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
