The salient point was "applications don't automatically become immune"- to my mind, Telnet and FTP are designed with URG data in mind, so sending them URG data at the appropriate place in the protocol isn't really a big deal. Sending or stripping URG data based on port is only somewhat equivalent. Paul ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
