Thank you! This appears to work fine; I've built several ports including 
Perl, and they appear to work. Usually if a machine can build ports, 
it's got fairly solid hardware.

As to a performance hit, I'm not really informed enough about the arm
architecture to notice. This is the first I've been able to really use 
this box, so I'm considering that enough for now.

Fairly soon I will be doing some network performance tests between the 
two network interfaces, so maybe the performance issue will show up when 
that test happens.

How new is your DP? I understand the hardware has changed again; I may 
need to get another one of these so I'm curious when that change occurred?

A man who was handsome, intelligent, and elegant, was asked
who he was.  "I am the Devil", he replied. "But that cannot
be," said the questioner, "for the Devil is evil and ugly!"
"My friend," was the reply, "you have been listening to my
detractors."
