i remember implementing quasi-QoS on uucp. after having our modem pool hogged too many times by a select few users, i put a script into our mail system. if the script determined an email was > X bytes (100k?), the message body was rewritten with: "Contents removed at LSUC, email is not a file transport protocol." and the mail was left to continue on its path. i kinda feel like adding the same script back into my servers. 8^) -- Jim Mercer jim@reptiles.org +92 336 520-4504 "I'm Prime Minister of Canada, I live here and I'm going to take a leak." - Lester Pearson in 1967, during a meeting between himself and President Lyndon Johnson, whose Secret Service detail had taken over Pearson's cottage retreat.
