Huh, I wonder then why he's having problems. In the -OLD- days he'd be rolling a new kernel. Is the stock kernel multi-cpu aware or does he need a more specialized kernel, or is it the kernel at all?? That's where I would be looking, fer sure. God, I want one like he's got. <scratching strong itch> I always stay a couple of years behind. :) Ric -- ================================================ My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
