Comments? Explanations? Remember, There are many, many things that can break between Indiana and the United Kingdom. CICA occasionally goes down or has maintenance performed on it. Our network connection sometimes gets run over by someone's chair. We have thunderstorms in the midwest during summer. Our machine room airconditioner quits. We try our best, but it looks like you tried to get to us during a time when our campus routers were being reloaded. Caveat emptor and try, try again. cheers, greg -- Gregory Reed Travis C I C A Center for Innovative Computing Applications|greg@cica.indiana.edu (work) Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405 |frognix!greg@cica.indiana.edu (hm)
