Very cool Phil!  I'm glad to see that's available.  Hell, it sounded nice even
to me, the non-linux type!

bearing gifts!  Iiiieeeee....  Run Away!

It's amusing you mention a 'Sun 1 Router'....  Lets just say in a large
company who shall remain nameless, they _still_ have some of those in

using them by knocking out a power cable on one.....  :-/

Now, if we can just get you to work on those subject lines.....  ;-)
