And posting to this list is a good way of ensuring your e-mail address is visible, too... James. -- E-mail address: james | "Right lads, we've got 45 minutes to score 37 goals. @westexe.demon.co.uk | No problem with that -- the other team just did."

heh -- just make one posting to a usenet group with your live email address. You'll have plenty of live viruses within a day or two to thoroughly test out your config. Alternatively, post your live email address on the web with a mailto: tag. Have fun! Clint

Set up a Windows based PC without patches onto a live IP [that is non- 10.0.0.0/8 or 192.168.x.x] address. Surely some viruses will penetrate it within oh, 30 seconds or so. -- Mike Jezierski - IT something or other... Systec Conveyors - Indianapolis, IN V: +1.3178909230 x 234 F: +1.3178909232
