Alright, I have been schooled on connection terms.... I will look up more later. I have more of a hands on knowledge of these things and butchered it because of that. That you for the information on how to set the traffic shaper. I knew that I would have to adjust for the multiple lines. I was just not sure which value to use for one line. Again, thanks for the information and the work you put into this project.
