I have no idea how their router/modem works; i have no idea how they were able to get my wife's PC back, much less my entire domain. (this is further OT, but FWIW, one guy suggested that a power surge may have broken the modem/router. 30-35 years ago a =real= modem ran at 1200 baud and was lightening fast. obviously, i haven't kept up... .) -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Journey Toward the Dawn, E-Book: http://www.thought.org The 8.57a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org Twenty-five years of service to the Unix community.
