Obvious from the context above - Alan Brown is the admin of ORBS.

kcircle.com = sunOS 5.7 (and my office gives me access to sunOS 5.6
through exceed) :)

Freenet is also sunOS.

Mail these to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (yeah, Bilbo Baggins of course, who else

Lonestar has slick access times???? Ouch. Arbornet is the best I've seen

There _is_ BSOD, and the errors get stored somewhere in the /tmp (or
rather c:\windows\temp ...). Check there.
[btw - take this offlist - this is going waaaay OT for LI] :)
