I wrote an article about X.25 for (the now defunct) Mini-Microsystems years ago and when it came back from the editor I was stunned at the lies that they had created from the truths that I had submitted...luckily I corrected them and it was printed after my approval. What most concerned me was that if I had wriiten that the Earth revolved around Pluto they would have printed it.....as they had no-one on staff that could understand the technical details of what I had written. Since then, I only look at the pictures in technical magazines....... dennis ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Emerging Technologies, Inc. http://www.etinc.com Synchronous Communications Cards and Routers For Discriminating Tastes. 56k to T1 and beyond.
