Finally recovering from a 4 month long Crohn's disease flareup, I'll take
a look at this tonight, I hope. I'm currently wading thru 19,000 emails
(combined work and FreeBSD stuff) so I might decide to whack away at that
for a day or so. That's the reason I haven't replied before.
Really good news is that I have my dsl back now (damn Verizon anyhow!)
With a bit of luck, maybe I can attend the BSDcon ... when is it (a web
pointer might be nice).
BTW, I've changed my net addresses, picnic is kaput, I now have the
machines [april|may|june|july].chuckr.org, and I get my mail at just plain
chuckr@chuckr.org. Please adjust your aliases, if you have any for me.
