I do have a second motherboard e-net card (msk0).. that I have the driver loaded.. but just have not gotten around to enabling.. But of course thats hind site.. Let me try my USB device.. I have one of those USB-Keys that I use in meetings that work with FreeBSD.. let me see if that "revives" the system.. if so then I can get in and configure up the second network :-) drat.. idiot that I am... I moved the chasy and knocked the power cable out.. Ok I will reboot and this time before running the test that will lock it up.. I will enable the network too.. so I will have two things to try.. It will take me a few hours to hit the condition again... I will get back to you with results...sigh.. R -- Randall Stewart NSSTG - Cisco Systems Inc. 803-345-0369 803-317-4952 (cell)
