Didn't work too well for me back then, as far as I can remember I       went to OpenBSD on that box quite quickly.               RF> Or maybe I should stop doing bourbon.              -)                     Regards,       Gerrit              ... 5:47PM up 127 days, 2:08, 8 users, load averages: 0.36, 0.30, 0.31              --- Msged/BSD 6.1.2        * Origin: And still they come and go (2:240/12)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 103/705 154/10 203/0 221/0 226/17 227/114 229/354       SEEN-BY: 229/426 452 616 1014 240/12 77 1120 1634 5832 8001 8002 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 261/38 280/464 5003 292/854 310/31 313/41 317/3       SEEN-BY: 322/757 335/364 342/200 396/45 423/120 633/280 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 2432/390 2452/250 413 3828/7 5020/545       PATH: 240/12 1120 2452/250 280/464 229/426           |
