$80.00 ?! Darn. Isn't that close to the commercial rate? I'm only paying $25.00! Now I know why you're upset. For $25.00 I wouldn't expect to run a sever on my line. For $80.00 I'd expect to. ===== Warmest Regards, Doug Riddle http://www.dougriddle.com http://fossile-project.sourceforge.net/ http://www.libranet.com -- "Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the Peoples' Liberty Teeth." - George Washington -- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
