I, too, have (almost) all of my machines up to 6-stable, with the very notable exception of the one that runs asterisk. Unfortunately, last I looked, the zaptel drivers hadn't been ported to 6. I found this out the hard way when I upgraded and my VOIP setup failed spectacularly. I then downgraded back to 5.4 and have been there ever since, siiigh. -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ http://www.exit.com/blog/frank/
