I didn't ask you to take Rod Grimes's word for it, I sited my source, IANA. Go read the pages. www.iana.org. Goto ``protocols'' look down the list. 1645/1646 are OFFICIAL assigned to someone else!!! Ascend can stuff it in there arragant ass, I've got enough beef with them alread (we sell Millions/month of there broken equipment that I have to try and make work for customers.) They are cluless dweebs who think they can walk all over RFC's and IANA, well, there rapidly driving customers to Cisco and Livingston faster than I can bandaid their crap in to working. It was Livingston who first screwed everone by just starting to use 1645/1646 without any official assignment, well, that was okay for a while, but everyone should now migrate to the official numbers as fast as they can _YOU_ included. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
