Thanks for the input. We only have 6700 LAN cards w/o DFCs in the
affected boxes. We might be planning to begin using a SPA-IPSEC-2G
though, and will have to test if the SPA Carrier-400 also has problems
with SRB2. :-|

Yeah, strange about the ED=>LD transition. As far as I knew, ED would
never become LD/GD and always stay ED. And LD was the designation for a
major release until GD. And SRA7 should be there soon I guess; it has
been about 2-3 months between SRA releases the last year.

Thanks all!
