I recommend that you set unitlengthsrc=none and unitlength to some outrageously large value, like 2e9 (it's an int) until Hellmuth puts up the next version (with the fix he mentioned in a recent mail) for public consumption. --- Gary Jennejohn Home - garyj@muc.de Work - garyj@fkr.dec.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
