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.
