So I think that more flexibility is better in this sense.

Given previous experiences I've had, your interest in this deffinately deserves a thanks, at the least. > -Alfred Cheers, Bosko. -- Bosko Milekic * Voice/Mobile: 514.865.7738 * Pager: 514.921.0237 bmilekic@technokratis.com * http://www.technokratis.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
