More RAM. Ok, web has 64 now and FTP has 32. I've been meaning to up the web to 128 (how fast can you get a web server if you make a 30 meg RAM disk and move all of the web files and cgi scripts to it... No disk access to slow it down.) >2.

It's on a 166 now, I will probably get a second system and split the load between the two before I get a faster CPU or a second controller. >This `big maildrop' had better not be nastygrams. Nope, standard snail mail. We sell a network diagraming, auto discovery and remote control system and the last people we want to tick off are the sysadmins! ;) -Sean ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean J.
