Just was reviewing the "2 ARC" discussion on the list (I'm finally about to do this after all these years) and smiled at the reliability issue on the ARC's and NMC's. Just for grins I logged into one of my ARC's running 4.2.32 and lookie here: SYSTEM DESCRIPTION System Descriptor: 3Com Corporation HiPer Access Router Card Built on Aug 16 1999 at 17:19:37. Object ID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.429.2.19 System UpTime: 413d 07:07:16 System Version: V4.2.32 413 days! 4.2.32 has been by far the best code I've run on my ARC's, 5.2.102 is looking pretty good too, but still not enough time to say for sure. No memory leaks yet though, which is better than 5.2.9!! - Mike ------------------------------------------------ Rock Island Communications, Inc.
