I used to be a big fan of ZIP drives, but today, not so much. There are lots of reports of unreliability on the Internet. Once you hear one "click" the first time, you'll never get your confidence back. I think these new USB-based "jump" or "thumb" drives are the neatest things since sliced bread! They're fast, portable and reliable. And they work just fine with Iomega Automatic Backup. If there is one option Paul could add, it would be to spawn off a batch file that can run the ZIP program of the users choice before backing up the log data. My 6MB log compresses down to about 450K, which easily fits on a floppy. 73 - Jim AD1C ===== Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.com PGP Fingerprint: D8E2 3D78 339F A7F1 8C13 1193 B5D1 4FB6 79D1 70DC
