Wonder how well that second processor is utilized? :-) Oh, and another case of "interesting" hardware choice. Compaq runs their Web site on a BSDI Proliant 1500R. Last time I checked, none of the Compaq video, ethernet or SCSI cards are supported by BSDI. That Proliant must have 3rd party duplicates of everything! -Robert -- Robert Dana <bob@worldcom.com> (713) 650-6522 UNIX and IP Network Engineer, Sendmail Guru in training Wolf Communications, Houston, TX Go WorldCom!
