YES!! YES!! That would just be wonderful. Then I can set ssh, eklogin, etc in interactive; dns and www in intermediate and let the rest fall into the slow pipe. > These changes will have to wait a bit as I'm in the middle of some > rather intrusive changes with the aim of being able to use the ppp > pseudo-device.... they're on my todo-list now :-I Glad you mentioned this.... I have a need to redo the way that autoload works as it has a major flaw as far as I can tell in that you can only bring up/down links based on your outbound traffic pattern. Well, that works okay for some folks, but it won't let me replace the ascend equipment until it can do it for both inbound and outbound traffic. I need to coordinate this effort with you, perhaps we should take this to private email... -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation, Inc.
