Maybe that's good advice in general, but this was a nice humorous anecdote that brought back fond memories.... I remember his high bandwidth link -- to the bathroom (T3? OC3?). There's an old tradition of interesting names for our networks, long lost in the commercialization of the Internet. Mine were fairly prosaic dream.net (192.138.173.0) and dreamer.net (192.138.226.0) -- names stolen years ago by domain hijackers (I still announce the address blocks from time to time). Of course, there were those that castigated me for having a couple of "valuable" class C's -- in my living room.... -- William Allen Simpson Key fingerprint = 17 40 5E 67 15 6F 31 26 DD 0D B9 9B 6A 15 2C 32
