You can order the order fax (:-) on the Web server, but have to fill it in manually, and fax it back. They FedEx the manual then, it took less than a week to get it here in Europe. The manual ain't too bad. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
