In fact, the only problem that I have experienced is when trying to make the /usr/ports/net/irc distribution, the system locks up completely when downloading the compressed tar file. My connection is currently a full time 28.8 dial up to our provider and I am using user ppp, so I expect I didn't do something correctly in setting it up as I get messages like the following within minutes of launching user ppp: connet80# ppp User Process PPP.

Anyway, I'm getting way off topic here. The AMD-100 seems to do it's thing and hasn't caused me any grief that I probably did'nt bring on myself. meljr@ConNet80.rain.com - Operations Manager ConNet80
