Great idea, Gregg. Will do, as I move forward. I've decided to go ahead with logging, since I have the room. I did logging last time I set up a router, which has been running a year, and so I know how much space it requires. However, should I go with a smaller SSD, can you (anyone?) tell me how to turn logging off? Thanks. Jeff -- Jeff Lasman, Nobaloney Internet Services P.O.
