I greatly appreciate your support. Yong-Hyeon, Please (privately) provide me your address in South Korea and I'll get all of this stuff shipped off to you within the next few weeks. You can keep the hardware, resell it, or ship it back (if you so desire) when finished with it. :-) Thanks! -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
