Hello Barry, I have crafted a subdomain for this purpose. The 'domain' will be jaribu.kictanet.or.ke. The DNS portions have just been done a few hours ago so they need some hours to propagate, otherwise the IP is 196.200.26.114 Please dig your e-mails (btn me and you) for your logon credentials. The host already has Apache22, Exim-4.76, etc. Nigel's been quiet! -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler. Please consider the environment before printing this email.
