Re: [SAtalk] Another way to invoke SA???

[SAtalk] Another way to invoke SA???

First, thanks to those who answered my question re stopping razor checks. Now, another question. Because we are now in a remote location, running off a generator and using a dialup, we can't run 24/7. This means each morning when we fire things up, there are about 300 messagesto be hauled down
