If they have done the right thing, and discussed things, then I hope the best ideas from each implimentation wil be taken from port to port. Francis' code is being used for the AIX implimentation.. I think it's early days to start saying which is better.. Matt, how did the IPv6 bakeoff go? I'm betting that the Digital Unix version of IPv6 is going to be kept under wraps... julian
