I try it with the jiffies value but I get always the same output value because the time is to short. But I'm not sure what jiffies is. Is it time in seconds, milliseconds or time ticks or something else ? Thanks for your help in advance Regards Jörg -------------------------------------------------------- Joerg Eggink Network Laboratories Heidelberg NEC Europe Ltd.
