If you know a way to do this, and you would post it, it would let me stay current right now, but jump back on ctm when I could do it. When ctm works, it's reliability factor is so high, of course I'd fall back to it. Actually ctm always works (like was said already), it's the network that lets us down. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
