Yeah, I contact Primenet whenever I feel like it.
I like to establish a modem connection, click {Test|Stop}and then
{Test|PrimeNet...}, click Send new completion dates and OK. Some of my
machines (usually 3) connect over a LAN and update PrimeNet automatically.
Two I use this somewhat manual technique for. I try to remember to send new
dates at least once a month for each machine running.
