well, Peter narrowed the timeframe, but if you have other things to do with your time, we setup (years ago) a little/free service to monitor domain availability... http://domain-watch.net/ it will e-mail you within an hour of the domain becoming available for registration. We do plan to "add teeth" to it, but of course it would end up in our RSP portfolio, not yours. -Tom ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Don't go around saying the world owes you a living; http://BareMetal.com/ | the world owes you nothing; it was here first. web hosting since '95 | - Mark Twain
