FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #5: Sat Apr 7 10:53:43 EDT 2001 Any ideas why my changes are not taking effect? I need to get that value raised to handle all the new traffic. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated! Regards, Kevin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
