It seems I'd still like to know why they disconnected. That has impacted some of our software development peoples' efforts, since they can no longer discuss problems/configurations via email. Was Roy the only person there who could maintain a mail link? Do they intend to re-connect at a later date? Will there be a different contact path for email someday? I got the impression that upper management ordered the plug pulled, and I'd like to know why. If for no other reason, so that I can guard against it here..... >P.S. - I guess it dosen't pay to be a Techie any more :-) It never has. Around here, an incompetent manager makes twice what a good engineer does, plus has profit-sharing. And this is a long way from Silicon Valley. I've crossposted this and directed followups to news.admin, since this is diverging away from 386 unix matters.... -- Gary Heston { uunet!sci34hub!gary } System Mismanager SCI Technology, Inc.
