In a lot of areas, if you want DSL or cablemodem you're stuck with only one (usually pretty clueless) ISP to choose. And fyi before I started using uucp over tcp, I used to lose mail going through bellsouth's server. I'd mail home a series of tarballs and get only some of the parts. Now that I switched to Time-Warner and a cablemodem, I still have to route my outgoing mail via uucp to my machine at work because the dynamic ips I get on my cablemodem are spamblocked by the servers at my brother's university. jpb -- Joe Block <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CREOL System Administrator Social graces are the packet headers of everyday life.
