Dane, Thanks for the reply.

I'm stuck supporting this old box but thought I had a way. I tried the following,

but ended up blocking all traffic.

On Page 190 you can create schedules, see attached.

On Page 151 you can create rules, and specify a schedule, see attached.

Sure seems like there is a way.

As always, I appreciate your help.

    Dane,
    Thanks for taking the time to help.
    I was hoping these rules applied to all WAN access, including VPN.
    Oh well, helps my argument for the owner to upgrade, at last!
    Thanks again, appreciate it.
