Gents, Just a passing thought... is there any reason why the ability to search the past posts on here isn't switched on? Just wondered, since it makes much more sense to be able to search the old archives if you have a problem, rather than ask the same question again and again... Paul

If I wanted to search for zapateller, I'd type in site:lists.digium.com zapateller Google would then restrict its search to lists.digium.com. You can do the same for the wiki: site:www.voip-info.org [search term(s)] Works with any site, actually.
