I thought about the imq, but I'm not sure how I can redirect traffic from one device to another, other than creating a bunch of different networks and then routing traffic from one to the other. Is there a better/faster way to do this? Also, isn't there a limit on the number of imq devices which you can use? -- Regards Abraham There is always one thing to remember: writers are always selling somebody out. -- Joan Didion, "Slouching Towards Bethlehem" ___________________________________________________ Abraham vd Merwe [ZR1BBQ] - Frogfoot Networks P.O.
