It can be blocked by the lynx configuration, too. Another approach is to bring up apache at home, and have it give you a shell. How? Dunno. This would be a general solution. I would think the "homepage" to do this should be exquisitely short, but I have no knowledge of how to do it. [hint to somebody else] You can get a certain amount of home access using ftp:// of course. Dave -- Sancho Panza: `Microsoft Windows NT Server is the most secure network operating system available.'
