Hi there, I had a tad bit of problems getting a GLoria Synergy AGP by ELSA to run using the XSuSE_Elsa_GLoria server (as XFree cannot support binary-only servers). One of the problems might be that SuSE still uses libc5 while I am installing Debian 2.0 Beta... Actually it should work

Linux/WinNT dual booting

Carlos qmail (www.qmail.org) has a feature called smtproutes that allows you to set up a machine with a higher MX to hold the mail in a local queue until the machine with the lower MX comes back up, then deliver to the main box. No additional users needed, and it works well. Cheers Si On Mon,
