    TS> Why?   
      
   Because you say that WP allows only one active uplink per area.........     
   OK, I get that.   
      
   Then you say that an area can be received from multiple uplinks...........   
   OK, I get that also.   
      
   It's the rest of it that has me confused. Perhaps I should do some tests     
   to see what actually happens, stay tooooooooned ;))
