What is that?
Network Time Protocol. That's just so that we're working with the same clock. After writing that email I checked your mail headers. It seems you're at 24.86.80.207. Is that right? Get http://ioioio.net/geoff and we'll see. Of course, you might be behind a proxy or similar, in which case my plan will be foiled. Then again, if we're not using the same clock, there's no point anyway. Try instead starting a stopwatch at the time you download the above URL and then write down what it says when you halt your system and when you reboot (be sure to wait at least fifteen seconds between the two). -- Andy Goth | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://ioioio.net/ End communication. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
