Leaves me wondering what       range of ports BBBS is using. :)              Thanks for the info.              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-4        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757.2)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 57/0 90/1 103/705 153/250 154/10 203/0 220/70 221/0       SEEN-BY: 226/100 227/114 229/101 426 452 1014 240/5832 249/206 317       SEEN-BY: 267/800 280/464 5003 292/854 317/3 322/757 340/1000 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 712/848 770/0 1 100 330 340 772/0 1 220 230       SEEN-BY: 772/500 2452/250       PATH: 153/757 250 770/1 280/464 229/426           |
