Don't even need that. I can telnet into the appropriate server/port from a command prompt but, like your solution below, that is not non-geek friendly. We need a solution that is AOL user friendly, not NANOG user friendly if we ever expect to make money with this thing called the Internet. This will always be tragedy-of-the-commons; the very things that make service attractive for Joe PayingCustomer also make it easy for Joe Spammer/Hax0r. Open<->Secure, choose your business plan carefully. Good Luck. Best regards, ______________________________ Al Rowland
