I didn't say that a 250kpps box was a high-end box. One reliable Mpps is not high-end either, but it can carry quite a lot of Mbps. What is C or M price for a reliable full feed Mpps ? "My" high-end boxes never manage to impress me with their pps capability before I'm disapointed in their reliability. /Tony -- Tony Sarendal - [EMAIL PROTECTED] IP/Unix -= The scorpion replied, "I couldn't help it, it's my nature" =-
