Type 2+ Packet"... the first       paragraph in that notes section explains why net 65535 is being seen in these       PKTs and how to properly handle it...                     )\/(ark              Always Mount a Scratch Monkey       Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it       wrong...       ... This is your train. This is your train with Botchmann. Any questions?       ---        * Origin: (1:3634/12.73)    |
