For those using Unix/Linux, would this provide the queuing needed for those apps with numerous parallel writes? http://sqlrelay.sourceforge.net/sqlrelay/ Donald Griggs Opinions are not necessarily those of Misys Healthcare Systems nor its board of directors. -----Original Message----- From: Jay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 9:51 AM2228882 As an example the ethernet card you're probably using right now. If a card tries to transmit at the same time as another card on the same network segment, they detect the collision, wait a short period, and retry. As long as you have few writers and many readers it works acceptably. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
