0100,0100,0100Andrew, Although I don't run Redhat, your response tells me that, even though I was feeling that it was a kernel problem, it could be a userspace issue, which I also suspected. Debian updated their nettools today, so I will see if that helps in any way. Thanks for your help. Glenn C. Hofmann On Sunday, 10 June 2001 Andrew wrote: 7F00,0000,0000> "Glenn C.
