Once upon a time Jose shaped the electrons to say...

Actually I would not spend a lot of time on that path, I disagree. While
it is possble I almost never see this come down to the PM - none in recent
memory at all. It is usually slow modem training, or the Windows box
asking for all kinds of crap in PPP that fails.

I suppose you could use ptrace on the unit to see packets in and out to
RADIUS.

>Also, can a switched HUB adversly affect a PM in this way?

It could only help.
