I think.  It happens so fast, that I can catch it in the act.  The debug dump 
from the routers scrolls faster than I can catch it.

HelloValidityTime       20.0
TcValidityTime          40.0

HystScaling     1.00
HystThrHigh     0.60
HystThrLow      0.20

No.  I'm torn over this one.  I want to, but I also don't want to deviate from 
the RFC, and I don't want to risk stranding a router when I change over.

Thanks, as always.  I'll go run these tests and let you know how it looks.  
How far through the network should I propagate these?  Every affected router?
