Have 1 more of this model in production... and it is slated for replacement this weekend before we have another inopportune failure. As such, I would agree, stay away from ABIT, or at the least, buyer beware... there evidently is a lifespan ofsome fo the componants. :( Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
