>>>>>>> In engineering this is called "job farming". You will hear this term more and more in the near future. - Chung >>>>>>> I guess the term "Farm" is associated with creating subnets where your data on the ethernet doesn't go to the entire network but only within the subnet most of the time. Accessing files mounted on different machines is faster if the access is local to your subnet than having to be routed on the backbone and back?? Cheers, Babu
