The quite annoying thing about that is switching a PC-MC-2T3+ interface from channelized (the default) to unchannelized causes a cbus complex restart, which interrupts traffic through the router for a period of time (the time varies based on the number of interfaces in the router). Of course, since OIR sometimes can cause a router reload anyway, maybe that's not such a problem. :-) -- Chris Adams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
