<<OVER-AND-OUT -- Wow. That's way cool thing you're doing. As far as hardware goes, I independently reinvented the BLOB METHOD when it comes to soldering. So I don't do much of that. Besides I breathed too much lead trying. What I was wondering is if anyone knows of anyone willing to think about selling a BorderGuard 1000 or BorderGuard 2000 (preferably a 2000). They were manufactured by NSC/STK/SUN when they were at 7600/7625 BooneAvS. Their URL was the infamously great (but their website was stupidly under done): www.network.com -- Party like it is 2006! --Prince will do this, I hope! .signature file contents: -- ##====================## steventrapp at comcast.net || SSS N N TTTTT|| a.k.a.
