Usage count = 1 every few seconds, is there any more testing i can do for you? the module works flawlessly otherwise thank you Antonio Dolcetta -- Speaking just for me, I don't think I have Linux blinders on my eyes. I can see other platforms, but I *choose* to ignore them on the theory that if I ignore them hard enough they will go away. This theory is obviously crazy. However, it also appears to be working. -- Eric S. Raymond
