Should I give 2.4.1p2 a try with the zerocopy patch? I think that's my next step, but if it isn't likely to change anything.. The problem tended to be that a connection could reach the 'ESTABLISHED' point (in netstat), but then very little data would pass over the connection. ie; 'telnet somehost 25' would give me the SMTP HELO statement, but nothing I typed seemed to make it anywhere. Inbound and outbound ssh connections would reach 'ESTABLISHED', but then wouldn't make it to the point of prompting me for a password. Nothing apparent in any log files or anything. Info attached, more availible upon request. Stephen
