You can download updates from ftp.digital.com. It takes some figuring out to decide which bits to download and how to install them but there is a lot of stuff there. I don't really know about ahc support in SRM. I just remember Andrew Gallatin mentioning that he was going to swap an isp for an ahc in one system when we were going through a rough patch and the isp driver was suspected (it wasn't the culprit in the end, it was breakage caused by fsck). -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
