The symptoms of failing to do this are that bulk transfers to systems running SunOS proceed exponentially slower. The most I could ever transfer before onepacket'ing was 50K. I cannot emphasize this strongly enough, so I won't bother. Just remember this if you ever put a 3c501 in a SCO Xenix box, and maybe Unix as well... -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) FAX 315-268-7600 It's better to get mugged than to live a life of fear -- Freeman Dyson I joined the League for Programming Freedom, and I hope you'll join too.
