I finally switched to using a second machine as a router... which really is the only way to go, unless you use a smart serial card like a digiboard which larger buffers... (and now that natd is part of FreeBSD there is no excuse... it's a great use for an old 486 or 386 that you have sitting around)... -- John-Mark Gurney Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Cu Networking P.O.
