Yeah but the extra boxes and higher capacity LAN cost something, so it drives the total cost up vs 1 box, but as I stated (or thought I did anyway) if you are doing DS3 stuff you would want redundancy and other features of distributed networking. I personally would like to see it in a PCCARD form factor like the dual DS1 card from odin technologies but somehow I think my ipaq would melt trying to keep up if it were doing more than pushing bits :) http://www.odints.com/pages/solution/ppc/ppcfs.htm Would make a handy test tool to have a DS3 into a pda! -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378
