With your UNIX-to-UNIX suggestion, I'm not 100% sure on what you mean but what protocols do you think Unix uses? 'Cos it aint guna be Unix-Internet-Protocol/Transmission Control Protocol is it? Also when you say Unix systems I get the impression you are hinting at something open source, especially as that URL ends in /gpl but Unix isn't open source only some various of it are so if you were counting on open source as a solution, I don't believe you can. -- Regards, James. http://www.jamesbensley.co.cc/
