Dear Ron,

I made this change - thank you.  Will see if it helps.  Also, does anyone
know what the effects of using "rpc" as the traffic mode are?

One immediately noticable effect is lots of IC processes showing up!  Used
to be just one process, and an ocassional child.

10906 ?        S      0:00 interchange
10914 ?        S      0:30 interchange
10916 ?        S      0:34 interchange
10918 ?        S      0:04 interchange
10920 ?        S      0:44 interchange
10922 ?        S      1:09 interchange
10924 ?        S      0:07 interchange

Load average on the server immediately started going up, from an average of
.3 to 1.5 - it has since dropped down again, but I wonder if a traffic spike
will cause more problems like this.  (Could have been something else on the
system, but this was the most recent change.)


Thanks,

Russell
