I must have been out > of my mind. Had to be. I think the coolest thing I have done so far was ripping CDs in windows and saving the data on my 9G Barracuda hard drive down the LAN. Actually, I was doing it through a full-duplex 100Mbit link between the machines. Samba was only eating 30% of the CPU at the max. People tell me I am easily impressed. I wonder why? Later, after I pulled my calculator out and remembered that two 10Mbit channels would have just as easily sufficed for the application, I gave myself a big smack in the head. But it's cool to have a hard drive connected over network. Especially a fast one (IDE SUCKS!). -- Kris Kirby ------------------------------------------- TGIFreeBSD... 'Nuff said.
