It was a known problem but after doing some googling I came across this: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2005-January/044838.html Unfortunately I need to know that it WILL work and not maybe. When I have time I will do some tests with FreeBSD 5.x again. Also, even if it did work I doubt it would be stable enough yet to put in a production enviroment. Nelis
