Hellmuth has also created an i4b netgraph node, but again, I haven't had a chance to do much with it. Now that I've got a free-in-the-evenings ISDN connection, I have no excuses left though.... (except that it's showing up busy at the moment). Once the freeze is over, I'll be looking at getting things under way. > Regards, > -- > Juergen Lock > (remove dot foo from address to reply) -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
