> We have an AMD64 Shuttle cube on order, so this is great news! Yeah, cute aren't they. However the 64-bit port isn't perfect yet, I'm getting choppy sound off the network; I suspect there are other 32-bit centric assumptions in the Rat code I haven't tracked down yet.

The mbus is trivial to test as it either works or it doesn't (and it didn't :) > On the other hand, RTP packets are being exchanged between all rats > in a particular session, so structure changes may be a problem, even > 32bit old <-> 32bit new. The structural changes are purely internal to let the compiler know what it actually wants. I've tested it with unencrypted packets on the live AG and it seems to be working fine. I haven't tested it in an encrypted session yet, but I'll see if I can have a look at that next week. However the encryption system within the current AG framework is of minimal value (or even negative value, as it gives a false sense of security where none exists) so it's not a high priority. Note I haven't touched the Rijndael code in Rat (yet). Cheers, Steve
