Yes, that's true! But less fun. ;) I do have some Dell dimensions machine with OpenBSD -current running now that I could easily get two NICs but its kinda old and slow to update current. I'll measure the power to see how much it uses. With the fact that old hardware, why would the APU be "OK" and not good? jb ------- inum: 883510009027723 sip: jungleboo...@sip2sip.info xmpp: jungle-boo...@jit.si
