they won't get out earlier even if you priorize them. as the line is not saturated there is no backlog worth talking about and thus there is nothing to give priority over. altq "re-sorts" stuff in the send queues on the network interfaces. if the lines aren't saturated these queues are always empty or close to empty thus nothing to resort. -- Henning Brauer, BS Web Services, http://bsws.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.
