As I wrote earlier on this list, I have a setup with linux router, three local interfaces and one outside interface. I do NAT and manage bandwidth. Therefore I needed the IMQ functionality. Unfortunately, no distro known by me at that time had kernel with IMQ (I didn't want to use stock kernel and patch it myself every time I need to upgrade kernel). Besides, it was also a kind of "proof-of-concept" solution. Anyway, It works almost flawlessly (except for some strange behaviour with GRE packets which I described few days ago). -- \.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\ Being vewy, vewy quiet is iweviwent. <hehe- .\.Kruk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\.\. hehehe> - Fudd of Borg. \.http://epsilon.eu.org/\.\ .\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.
