Hi Scott,

Oh yeah, its pretty old, from 2004.  I was testing with this system 
since I had it laying around, I just don't want to try to connect it up 
to the switches and other BI's just to run into this problem and have it 
fark out on me like this.  Guess, we will have to give it a shot with 
the other systems once we put the Cisco's in and if I can't pass any 
traffic or get the same errors then we will tear down the port-channel 
config on the cisco's and figure another alternative out.

But since this is the same configuration that I am finding and everyone 
else is using, then by all rights it should work.

Thanks for the response.

Joe
