How many >PCs are there? It is impossible to change to Ethernet_II? Why not just support 802.3. Its not that difficult for pete's sake. If someone asked me to change my entire network to suit a product with such a basic defect I would be very suspicious of the reliability (and support) of the feature. if you can't make something as trivial as 802.3 work then there are lots of more complicated things that probably wont work as well. db
