That's what you get from people who don't understand what software engineering is vs just hacking something to make it work. There are a couple of people around who are aware of the problem and have said something about fixing it, so there is hope that something might happen - just not quickly. Another option is to use NetBSD instead of FreeBSD, where ALTQ still works in the "old" way. Darren
