BUILD_TARGET_OS="LINUX" export BUILD_TARGET_OS BUILD_TARGET_OS_LC="linux" export BUILD_TARGET_OS_LC BUILD_TARGET_PLATFORM="LINUX_FEDORA" export BUILD_TARGET_PLATFORM BUILD_TARGET_PLATFORM_LC="linux_fedora" export BUILD_TARGET_PLATFORM_LC BUILD_TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION="CORE6" export BUILD_TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION BUILD_TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION_LC="core6" export BUILD_TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION_LC BUILD_TARGET_PLATFORM_FULL="LINUX_FEDORA_CORE6" export BUILD_TARGET_PLATFORM_FULL BUILD_TARGET_PLATFORM_FULL_LC="linux_fedora_core6" export BUILD_TARGET_PLATFORM_FULL_LC John On Tue, Dec 16, 2008 at 6:04 AM, Josh Boyer <jwboyer@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 04:06:37PM -0800, John Terhune wrote: >>We recently purchased a traffic shaping network device from a company >>called Exinda.
