That's OK. So you're not going to tell us what the problem was? Remember, FreeBSD-questions is a volunteer service. Many people, particularly Doug, give you support there of a quality which you wouldn't be able to buy from commercial vendors. There are many other people on the group following the messages and learning from them. It would be nice if you would tell them what the problem was. Greg
