At least some of those I know have like 2 .. 8 MB of memory, of which 64KB isn't really all that much. Do you have better knowledge of such DSL routers' capabilities? And nothing says you have to be able to defragment more than one packet at the time; further, especially if such devices use confg'd tunneling, it's most probable such packets would never be sent (except in a DoS attack). -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems.
