Nice box based on the 386SX/25 running standard Livingston > ComOS Livingston has had some really buggy code lately...The new ComOS I got for our PM2 still insn't quite right...had 3.3.3 on there for a year, then went to 3.5. Some things don't stay set, and I've heard a lot of people complaining about the beta code they release (although beta releases are called beta for that reason...). I grew unhappy with them recently, otherwise we would've gotten a new PM3. Livingston is ok, but they haven't had as much time for R&D as some others. You would honestly get better performance out of a FreeBSD-made router. -Gary Margiotta TBE Internet Services http://www.tbe.net
