-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Sorry about another. Forgot to ask you if you're running lptcontrol, one way or another, that is, in the kernel or rc.conf, in polling or interrupt mode. Mine's compiled into the kernel in interrupt mode, but I've tried it both ways with lptcontrol & also tried suppressing bidirectional before I started pestering everyone. Thanks again.
