STP is more dollars than I'll ever talk my site into spending, especially since such function is FREE on every other platform I know of. Last I looked, it lists for in the 5 figure range. Even if free, I'd have difficulty convincing the rest to let me be the "BOSS" time server. <SNIP> Sorry if this has been asked and answered. I haven't been watching this thread that closely. If you were to bring up a copy of Linux in an LPAR, could it not provide the STP capability? Would this solve the problem? Then that same copy of Linux could be used for other things that need to be done, but doesn't require lots of CPU or C-Store.
