Ha! I am the network administrator! Hey, what do you expect for $13/hour! But really, I could do all this with NT/2k pretty fast. This whole FreeBSD thing is my pet project--to learn--and to ultimately subvert our company's dependence on Microsoft. Of course if I can do what all I want to learn--I might be able to make a few of these too $$! Doug.
