I don't think there are any similarities between VRTX and Windoze. :) I stand corrected; you are closer to the truth of the matter, my friend. My earlier impression came from some faulty data I read concerning the latest round of LinkSys boxes (WRT54G v5) based on VxWorks. Here's an interesting link: http://www.xs4all.nl/~borkhuis/vxworks/vxw_pt0.html#0.1. Apologies for the (my) confusion. As VxWorks is just about as ornery to deal with (as it's proprietary, we don't have many available hacks for it - in the Wi-Fi world, at least, where I've had to interact with it), I just started lumping it in with Windows after reading what I did concerning the v5 LinkSys devices. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
