Ok, Now my 2 cents worth: I have only owned my ETinc card for about 2 months. I route for a /28 from a FreeBSD box. I have never used routed or gated. Actually in my application they are not needed. Anyways. The only problem I had was that I failed to read the docs completely. Other than that the installation went in seamlessly without a hitch. One complaint for Dennis ;-) Would love to see the docs as a manpage or something easy to read off the platform. Not all of us have access to Windows 95 or its liking. I was lucky I had one because my Inet connection was down while installing the card. Dennis keep up the good work. End of my 2 cents. Ron > > 2. Etinc's job is NOT to support: > a.
