I think this is within the broad spectrum of NANOG's charter. Central resources like this are a dying breed, hopefully there's someone from the tech community who is in a position to help/host/etc... maybe someone's out there who doesn't have a bean-counter watching over their shoulder and can recognize value beyond current share price... http://www.faqs.org/ http://www.faqs.org/save_faqs-org.html thanks for your time, i have no personal interest in this beyond supporting the efforts of people trying to maintain the 'spirit' that brought this whole thing together. Pity much of the corp's who survive via global IP forget where the net came from and to whom they owe gratitude for putting in the effort to make it what it is today... cheers ben ________.-~-.________ Ben Ryan, MCP Network Engineer Lansys Technologies Bendigo, Victoria Australia Phone +61-[0]417 502061 email: ben@bssc.edu.au URL: http://thrasher.impulse.net.au/index.htm
