It is a good thing to have options. I never questioned your need, even with 2 interfaces 15 secs is a long time. i just wish to understand the failure mode for when autoconfig is the only viable option. We will see soon if i can recreate this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
