Ah, how I miss Chuck.... ;) There was probably discussion before that which I do not recall. I think srsplus is now owned by Verisign through multiple buyouts -- that is, they were bought by somebody who was bought by somebody ... > With a free Windows/COM component option and $7.50 pricing, the devil it > tempting. Not a chance. If it costs me an extra $2.50 per year to avoid Verisign, you won't have to ask me twice. The only way I would use srsplus is if I had an annoying fecal agitator (we've all had them) who I figured would have a short shelf life on my servers. (If I can *cost* Verisign money without causing problems for myself or Tucows, I'm all for it.) Unless I was handling tens of thousands of domains ... in which case Tucows would probably give me a discount anyway. -- Paul Chvostek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> it.canada http://www.it.ca/ Free PHP web hosting! http://www.it.ca/web/
