Thanks, all for your responses. Essentially they all have said the same thing as the party above - its a good board, and I (rwing) plan to go with it. In a few weeks, rwing will be noticebly perkier (if it lasts that long with the hole that has been discoverd) As an aside - regarding this security thing that has generated so much traffic I note that Microport plans on POSTING a fix. Perhaps ISC and other vendors should do likewise???? And perhaps EMAIL it to those that have contacted ISC via e-mail ... It would help less-than-great cust relations regarding support policies, not to mention affected sites... -- pat@rwing (Pat Myrto), Seattle, WA ...!uunet!pilchuck!rwing!pat ...!uw-beaver!uw-entropy!dataio!/ WISDOM: "Travelling unarmed is like boating without a life jacket"
