Feel > free to suggest code changes and I'll be a guinea pig though :) Great to hear that it's working. Now I just wonder why you had to do this. My T30 has standard IRQs (most everything shares 11) and I have not seen this. My fxp0 works fine with CURRENT and has worked for quite some time, maybe since pre-5.0-Release. I typically update the system about once a week. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
