Have I overlooked something important here? --Carol Anne Carol Anne Ogdin http://www.net-working.com 530/295-3657 Deep Woods Technology, Inc. http://www.deepwoods.com CAOgdin@deepwoods.com Leveraging technology to restore the soul of the organization _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
