that is fair.

What I did was to combine them...

use DHCPCMD to dump all the leases into arrays
use Ascan to read for mac addr
and if it fails, then use the SMS data

for the most part, dhcpcmd has most of them, and is MUCH faster, but has some holes in the data.

I'll post a copy of the product on my site tomorrow, after I redact it for 'sensitive' details.

It isn't perfect yet, but it functions reasonably well. considering I've gutted it from most errorchecking code. [Wink]
