Hmm.. Doesn't appear to be running. The fuuny thing is is that I have it set up (via webadmin) to startup. I guess I'm going to need to go down to the ISP to stand at the console.. *bleh* <g> Any suggestions? I'll keep reading through that book I got.

So far he's an extremely comfortable read. I don't get that too often and it's always a pleasant surprise; perticularly with technical issues...

Thanks again Jerry....
