A couple of times I've been asked to either pull my network cable or switch off my router whilst the Telco ran tests at the exchange. That would cause that amount of errors wouldn't it? Anyway - I rebooted tonight and I've only had 2 errors in 4.5hrs. -- Jim Radford "If at first you don't succeed - change the DC"
