CTM is 'push technology', as opposed to CVSup which is 'pull technology', so CTM is cheap on home phone call costs !) cvs is great at work on leased lines, ctm is better at home to minimise costs on dial up personal billed phone lines. cvs is available via ctm (as also is current & ports & gnats & stable) stable is available direct via ctm (to save you the cvs export/checkout) echo "lists" | majordomo@freebsd.org for more info on ctm lists & look at /usr/share/doc & man ctm Julian -- Julian H.
