Hi roundkat,
I want to thank you for posting your config. I tried using what you wrote for ALTQ and it seems to work!
Then I tried writing mine again little simpler version this time and it works too! I still have NO IDEA why my original script would not work. As far as I can tell they all look the same to me as far as syntax goes. haha!
Oh well it seems to be working so I'm happy.
Thank you very much.
Case closed....for now. :P
