My experience with Znyx 348's (dual port) was that they'd "steal" IRQ's from the neighboring PCI slots, interfering with a (for example) WANic (SDL Riscomm sync serial board) board the next slot over. What I'd love to see is a 100+ dash 4 which used a single a single IRQ for all four ports:) Thanks, David Miller ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's *amazing* what one can accomplish when one doesn't know what one can't do!
