I also deal with a Verizon-like service where it's much less clear who could respond. Well, it'll be amusing, as you're quite right that it would be polite to ask first.) I also want to gather statistics on connectivity to the world past my ISP. Are there any folks out there who would be willing to have their machine pinged once a minute by me? I promise to make pretty graphs eventually. ;-) -- Jeff Jeff Abrahamson <http://www.purple.com/jeff/> The Big Book of Misunderstanding, now in bookstores and on the web: <http://www.misunderstanding.net/buystuff.html> Attachment:
