If anyone is working on such an >application or patch please let me know. I assume that you are talking about our product...since its $495. Note that it is FREE with the purchase of an ET/5025-16 sync board @$795., which is economical if you care to eliminate your serial router. Our ET/BWMGR is just released (we just put the new demo up a day or 2 ago), but it sounds like its a bit more powerful than what you need or want. Version 2.0 of the bandwidth manager is a complete allocation and limiting manager that can precisely allocate bandwidth for specific services (http, ftp-data, etc), limit by host or network address, keep statistics and also act as a high performance filter/firewall. ET/BWMGR is designed to streamline bottlenecks and create service opportunities (by allowing ISPs to offer limited services with scaled pricing) with standard equipment. If you haven't read about it, full info and online manuals are available at http://www.etinc.com/bwmgr.htm Dennis
