You might wan't to consider contacting (and maybe even joining ;-) the Econet User Group. It is run by Mr M. Ryan, Balkeerie, Eassie, Forfar, UK. He has considerable experience with running a large multi-server, multi-network Econet system and so should be able to answer your questions. Unfortunatly he doesn't have an electronic mail address or anything sophisticated like that, Geoff. -- Geoff Ballinger, EMAIL: Geoff@Ed.Ac.Uk Department of Artificial Intelligence, University of Edinburgh, 80 South Bridge, Edinburgh, Scotland.
