      <sorry for the wide distribution, but email bounced>

Andrew,
   If you could please provide me with a few more details regarding your
configuration, topology, and software version I'll try to help find out
what the problem is. I look forward to hearing from you.

P.S. Our firmware only provides basic services for the software to
     use. In the BR/2000 ARP is a function of the system software
     not the firmware.
