They may not have been Russian, as I said I wasn't sure but I did read that (IIRCAIW(P)ITPATT), the FBI had reason to believe they were actually in Russia. I doubt you could compare the attacks five years ago on one Swedish network to the ongoing, seemingly coordinated attacks today, that are nearly bringing several major networks to their knees. If you think you can find the guys responsible, go for it - I'm sure there are a number of people who would like a quiet word with them ;) Gavin -- **************************************************************************** http://www.samcommunity.org - Paper mag for SAM owners and emulator users.
