 May need to mul by 45 w/ the 3Ghz cpu's abt to hit the market.

 Heh, I've enough probs w/ a 300Mhz cpu I don't think I wanna
know what a 3Ghz one will do to things. (but boy would one of those
sure be nice to have) <G>

PW>> I thought 0x0D 0x0A in the main body though was normal.
JB>I don't see it in any of the echoes that arrive here, (only in netmail
JB>messages)

 Hmm.. :/ I pulled out a pkt and looked at the echomail in it and
the kludges do have just 0x0D between them but in the body of the
msg it's 0x0D 0x0A.


 Pkt reads as a type 2+
