Michael,
it could be that it's just me being anal. I have been known to get that way from time
to time. For me at least being a dialup connection as yet I just don't put "that" much
trust into something that is at the mercy of a modem connection. If, on the other hand
I had a hard connection like a full-time LAN connection or cable that might make the
difference.
however, you have peaked my curiosity in getting to know this utlility. I'll have to
look into this a bit more.
"see what you've started now?" :P
