let's stick to the standards, not religion/fantasy.
Yes, 'cause hackin' up a workable solution \neq standards. We have to fight ourselves out of patching. Maybe I'm a bit of a fascist, maybe not, but we have to consider scalability and production. I exchanged a bit of mail (with Randy and other's yesterday night), convincing me of the one way rfc approach... after all, it's not a nightmare to get put a zone in operation... but to stay clean is a valuable effort. BTW, looked into the M$soft implementaion... virgin experience... to be ctd;-) One (important) gain running the rfc way is KISS :-) Michael
