All of those collisions ? 0.47% is a very good collision rate... I would not worry about it at all at this point... When it starts pushing 10%, perhaps look at a switch, or segment your LAN, but its really a personal/financial decision... Some people would live with a 10% rate, others would think its a cardinal sin... ---Mike ********************************************************************** Mike Tancsa (mike@sentex.net) * To do is to be -- Nietzsche Sentex Communications Corp, * To be is to do -- Sartre Cambridge, Ontario * Do be do be do -- Sinatra (http://www.sentex.net/~mdtancsa) *
