It gets more fun when the "almost" fall off. 16 of them is evil :-) Multilane is the way to go for better reliability and to save me some problem now and in the future. The other issue is support, Vinod hangs out on the list and does a dam good job of supporting people. Better than most suport contracts, credit for good work and putting money were my mouth is, assuming the 16 port is not vaporware, ship in 30+- days, I use 6 on this job, it the right thing to do. -mjm __________________________________ Yahoo!
