Gentelmen,

Sorry if I ran into the Big Boys forum crying. I will be more cautious about
what I ask next time. Is there a forum for people who are starting out with
OpenBSD? The thing is I am new to it and I am in a situation where reading
pages and pages of Google is taking a lot of time away from making it work.
But just working a few days with this OS I can see that its very solid and
worth the many hours of searching for documentation.

I meant that one of the interfaces was routable on the Internet, not sitting
at a table in Starbucks. And your right I try and keep it as invisable as
possible.

I cant wait to get perl working for me. It sounds wonderful. Time....time.

Thanks Dave. My boss alway say "Be paraniod"

Hasta luego,
