Any router/modem that *crashes* when the input rate exceeds the output rate is broken. A router/modem shouldn't crash regardless of the data input rate. It might drop packets but not crash. -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: ma...@isc.org
