HI Frances, the query is 64 bit.  But you mentioned an "abnormally rapid
clip", currently I am polling the router at one minute intervals and had not
experienced any kind of issue with the counters not being able to roll over
fast enough.  Maybe I'll try a 5 minute interval and see if that does the
trick.  Thanks for your input.

Mike
