A couple of questions: 1) is there anyone that believes we need 2 packet formats ? 2) what is the most expedient way to converge on a single packet format ? Regards, -james (*) As a gross over-simplification, in both cases the client says "please Mr. Server, tell me what NBMA destinations should receive packets with this destination." ____________________________________________________________________________ James W.
