Also, as far as I understand, some extra boost comes from using polling the devices; however, not all devices do support this yet. I use SMP (dual intel CPUs) with if_xl lan card, but I can't use polling with this device. ULE + polling would be a great performance gain, I believe. Any plans of extending polling support to more devices? Rob. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The all-new My Yahoo! - Get yours free! http://my.yahoo.com
