In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-isp@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Thanks.....You people are great. If ever I can contribute in anyway I will never hesitate. I have the book . It's at home. However, starting today it will be with me at all times. I actually used it to set up DNS on my home system. To my amazement it worked. Must have been the good instructions. Like the instructions you all have given to me today. I had asked to get this done awhile ago. However due to the situation with the network administrator leaving. I had to get it done. The customer had asked repeatedly to get it done. Well now it is. Thanks again. You have helped me out in Stephen A. Derdau XTDL inc 603 4714700 Whew what a week or two! Anyone know what happened? The month of April has been way too much for me.:) On Tue, 29 Apr 1997, Dan Busarow wrote: > On Tue, 29 Apr 1997, Stephen A.
