In all the experience I have had with ciscos, I have only seen three instances in which some type of memory was lost: * An old CGS lost its NVRAM config due to invalid checksum * A 3204's NVRAM had a problem approximately 1000 bytes into the config. If you had a small config, it would work fine, but when you write a larger config to memory, then reload, it would report that checksum was invalid. * A 1003's PCMCIA socket believed any flash card inserted was write-protected. This could have been due to bent PCMCIA pins, but I didn't bother to find out. /cah - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
