The buffer memory is kinda crucial to a switches operation

So yeah, I think it falls into the "suitable as an anchor for a small boat" catagory.

[batdog]

Yea...kind of fiqured that but I was hoping I was just doing something stupid. Hacked at it for about 1/2 day and said sc&^% it. I'll send it back to Cisco. Fiqures...I get to mess w/a switch and it goes tits up..lol.

 Thanks for the reply Vulcan.
