But I'd seriously question whether it's be worth the trouble of the vast kernel, shell, and driver mods. Or compiler rewrites and system compiles for a non-x86 CPU. It'd probably be a whole lot easier to just toss the Cisco router and replace it with a Linux box. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=%22linux+routers%22 +&btnG=Search -- Glenn English ghe@slsware.com GPG ID: D0D7FF20
