What a terrfic idea, Tom -- thanks. Your paragraph above doesn't mention it, but appears this is (right now) only for MS Windows. Any chance of Linux support coming soon, and in the long run of getting folded in as a kernel service so that I can just configure it from my System Settings menu eventually? :-) I'm sure others will be asking about Mac OS X too. -K -- Too many emails?
