Yes, but he does his service reliably and inexpensively, and my duty cycle is
not small.

The filters are just shell scripts. I have this as far as it adjusted. The
four programs are available on BSD. Do not understand why this will not run.

I find annoying. If you have a great operating system, and must again be

computer, FreeBSD and Gentoo are the best choice.

Always make any one a spanner in the works. How can we be satisfied?
