Attached you can find my small sample. Please have a look and let me know what differs. <div>Just to add some confusion, my a_sup corresponds to your eapp_sup and my a_sup_2 corresponds to your a_sup.... ;)<div>/siri<br><br>

Siri,<br>
<br>
The code is from last weeks training part of the Erlang Factory in San<br>
Francisco. I don't know if Erlang Solutions would like me sending all<br>
the code to people or not. I'd send it to you off-list if it was ok<br>
with them.<br>
<br>
Or maybe you could send me a sample of your code to compare with what I have.<br>
<br>
thx,<br>
