I know we've still got some hubs lying around in a backroom at work but I don't know of anything that will let you disable the retry-on-CD. Have you considered simulating the network at a slightly higher lever: Use ipfw pipes or similar to simulate packet loss (either set a queue length of 1 or probabilistically). This could be done either as a bridge or by tunneling your protocol over IP or UDP. -- Peter
