(I can't quickly find the 82557 Users Manual on >the Intel site either). Right, it was Ken that was after the flow control bits.

This will let all 'bad' frames through, however, not just those that are too large. -DG David Greenman Co-founder, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org Manufacturer of high-performance Internet servers - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.
