Don''t know though -- my two high-speed internet connections terminate 200 miles apart so it''s hard to experiment with any of the options that you are talking about... -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net
