Thanks for suggesting what I had noted at least worth discussing as well already and what "other interested parties" said to be a really stupid idea. Doesn't seem that stupid to us two obviously, especially if ext4 is already used anyway. ;-) But it's really not only about a simple queue: I want to have long term storage and access to individual telegrams according different criteria like individual devices, when received etc. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Thorsten Schöning -- Thorsten Schöning E-Mail: Thorsten.Schoening@xxxxxxxxxx AM-SoFT IT-Systeme http://www.AM-SoFT.de/ Telefon...........05151- 9468- 55 Fax...............05151- 9468- 88 Mobil..............0178-8 9468- 04 AM-SoFT GmbH IT-Systeme, Brandenburger Str. 7c, 31789 Hameln AG Hannover HRB 207 694 - Geschäftsführer: Andreas Muchow
