Thanks for the replies. great to see a group which does respond positively. I have also found out the hard way that kill -HUP on xinetd dose not respond as I would have expected ! After a total reset to the system /etc/services was reread and it did as was required. A pity no positve response on GPIB, this would get linux really into the control and instrumentaion market. It costa hellof a lot of $ when the end of a production line stops when winrubbish nt falls over !!! -- Best Regards Richard Bown e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] amprnet [EMAIL PROTECTED] NTS G8JVM@GB7IPT.#28.GBR.EU Tlf. +44 1952 502550 mobile +44 7850 876224
