Not that I know of, though I by no means have all the RFCs memorized or the time to go reading all the relevent ones at the moment :) : Cheers : Peter Lockhart Good Luck, Matt Heckaman -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.1 (FreeBSD) Comment: http://www.lucida.qc.ca/pgp iD8DBQE5RlBadMMtMcA1U5ARAuxdAJ0R+KPuBk5+iUu7Wv5ucnFQ+MHzkwCg64Im awhjR6TSk2+9BN6BTNL/uhc= =+Jw4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
