Four times out of five, I get connected to one address (196...), but sometimes 192.... comes up instead, to keep things interesting. I've even tried holding out for just one of the two, using 196.../24, but they don't seem interested in negotiating. It's the same dial-in number, I suppose it just depends which machine gets to the phone first. Regards -- Robert Nordier rnordier@iafrica.com E.A.C.
