gee bill, bucking for your own column in boardwatch again?
our noc still does an exemplary job, thanks.  we don't do
maintenance in the middle of a sunday afternoon, unless of

you've been around long enough to know the drill, you call

this way of course, just like rfc 1104, information goes
out of date :-).
