I think that's a very good idea, and I think you'll be happier. It's basically what we do, with various types of machines. We do use a lot of 6100's. Caveats: MacRADIUS can get slow on slow hardware. Your RAS should be able to tell you the response times, before and after. We've having trouble on a 6150/66 dedicated to QDNS where it often has trouble starting up under load. We've tried a 7100 and has the same trouble, so it might be all machines of that class, or it might be something else entirely. Just in case you run into it. 6100s don't cool very well. Make sure you have adequate A/C, and/or consider pointing fans at them. -- Peter Lalor Infoasis plalor@infoasis.com The San Francisco Bay Area's Macintosh 415-459-7991 Consultant and Internet Service Provider 415-459-7992 fax http://www.infoasis.com/
