Ping -f waits for an answer to each packet before it sends the next one, to a maximum of 10ms, so it will never fill the output queue. Ping -l on the other hand just sends like crazy. > John-Mark -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
