This can have two answer: 5 or 7. So, I will accept if the candidate answer 5, 7 or 5 and 7. Later on (the next level of the interview), a techinical interviewer will chech if the candidate understand the differences of LSA 5 and 7. ----------------------------------------------------------- How often do you use this in everyday netgeeking? Asking these types of questions will assure that you get someone with a vendor i-drank-the-kool-aid cert because they memorized the answers, but maybe not the best candidate for the position. However, with some of today's managers kool-aid certs are looked on as better than an engineering degree. Go figure... :-( scott
