It would be running smoothly, then poof! no response. This problem was fixed sometime around mid-December last year. I would recommend upgrading to a newer release, 2.2.7 or 2.2.8. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Jonathan Fosburgh | Contract Petroleum Analyst jef53313@bayou.uh.edu | Netherland, Sewell & Assoc., Inc. wotan@scientist.com | International Petroleum Consultants www.geocities.com/vienna/1498 | Dallas - Houston, TX. ================================================================================ University of Houston | Manager of the FreeBSD WebRing B.S.
