Some of the folks on this list run networks that carry 911 phone calls. A call not going through may well result in fatalities. I'm personally torn, I think the "Professional Engineer" things are 75% racket, and 25% good, but I also think the 'net continues to miss out on the 25% good and could seriously use some of it. -- Leo Bicknell - bickn...@ufp.org PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
