So unless you have an ATM card (which i have heard has an embedded shaper supported by ALTQ) or you are directly interfacing with your T1 via a card whose driver has ALTQ support, you are out of luck with ALTQ for this particular application. Kenjiro, can you confirm this if you are listening ? cheers luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
