Hi Kevin. Your reply came to me direct rather than via the mailing list - I suspect my mailer didn't set "Reply-To" correctly when emailing the list. I'll need to fix that. Curl is the latest version available for the Rasbian version running on my box. I'm not thrilled about updating to a newer Raspbian distribution version given that it is so stable as-is. I could try wget instead - does SA require configuration to tell it to use wget instead of curl? If so, where? Thanks Rodney. -- ============================================================== Rodney Baker rod...@jeremiah31-10.net CCNA #CSCO12880208 ==============================================================
