You're right in that it's going into a datacenter. I already have something that looks like (and probably works like) the second one; what I don't have is a large enough CF. And it's going into the datacenter tomorrow. I've found a 40G drive of which I know the history, and I'm going to use it temporarily, while looking for a small SSD. This is a temporary router; it will be pulled and replaced some night in the future <smile>. Thanks! Jeff -- Jeff Lasman, Nobaloney Internet Services P.O.
