Thanks in advance. we have had quite a lot of problems with the bge's in older 2550's, the watchdog timeouts caused freevrrpd to bork leading to quite unwelcome problems. This was with 4.8. We blamed it on buggy bge hardware, and have gone back to the fxp as well. -- Sten Spans There is a crack in everything that's how the light gets in.
