That, I believe was the root of the further problems I was having after installing a new net card. Maybe I should read the pico docs, and see if there is an option to turn off word wrap. On another note, using tcpdump on ed0 (which is connected to a cable modem), produced very interesting output. The reason (I think) our cable modem very rarely works, or if it does is *very* slow, is down to us receiving packet requests for a whole boatload of IP's. Slowly, but surely... ---------------------------------------------- Tim Parkinson -Teaching Company Associate Nottingham Trent University & Clerical Gas Ltd Tel: 0115 9783677 Fax: 0115 9706977 tim.parkinson@ccr.ntu.ac.uk tim@gubbins.ml.org -Home To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
