I agree Jon, this is too much detail and not enough info at the same time. To the original poster Rohit: Did you purchance clip it off just about the place where it might have gotten interesting? I feel that what we want to know may be there, but we didn't get to see it. -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
