Matt:
Sounds good! I haven't checked echoWall on Oxygen yet,
so good going.
BTW, please *do* feel free to "plagiarize" from what
I wrote. It's a BSD license, and gawd knows I learned most
of the basics from your rc.pf to begin with. :) Honestly I'm
flattered that anyone's using it all besides me...
Quick question: when you start it up, does it blow
away what was there by default, or will there be conflict?
cheers,
Scott
