Unfortunately, yes. Not only that, I work often in heterogenous router environments. Often things that work well between a single vendor's routers, do not work well with a myriad of different makes, models, and firmware versions from off-brands...... The bitch of it all, is often I work on routers in non-climate controlled environments, so they are rated to 40 C and beyond......... I still cannot find the IOS syntax that compensates for heat and humidity...... I'm going to check out those minimal webservers, just for grins. thx, James
