I cannot reproduce it, it works as expected for me. Well, it looks like I'm going to have to contribute something to FreeBSD and hunt it down myself. Another user emailed me saying the same problem was happening to him since 2.1.0R. And I almost stated I had the same problem with 2.1.5R but I double checked just before posting and could not reproduce the problem. The question is, "did I have the problem with 2.1.5R and now don't?" Guess we'll know if I ever figure it out. Surely this problem wouldn't be hardware related? Same time I put 2.2-current on it, it got a new motherboard. My 2.1.0R and 2.1.5R systems are all on totally different hardware. 2.1.0R is 486DX33 ISA, 2.1.5R is NexGen PCI, and 2.2/3.0-current is [45]86/133 PCI. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@tomcat1.tbe.com (wk), dkelly@hiwaay.net (hm) ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
