Hmm.. Well, its a thought. I will actually probably put a switch on one end of the fiber run, so i would need to find one with an ATM interface. I also don't know ATM all too well, so I'd kinda like to stick to Ethernet. It all comes down to price (and what is supported in FreeBSD), though. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net /* FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
