   Interesting background information! ;)   
      
   But "doesn't resolve" means that the dns system doesn't know how to resolve   
   the cco.ath.cx host name. Which means it doesn't exist (anymore).   
   "ath.cx" Is one of the domains of dyndns, so I think Mike had a free account   
   there. Which ceased to exist when they abolished free accounts.   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
