FYI, Our newer FreeBSD 7.0 router (with a slightly newer quad Intel Pro PT card) has watchdog timeouts... a couple of 1 or 2 second outages a day. Maybe 6.3 is better... any one else seeing watchdog timeouts with their emX? How many bbs are people getting out of their boxes in production? Rudy ---------------- MonkeyBrains.net Colo, IPv4, IPv6
