Subj : Bye-bye Win2k.

  Well, I'm flat out of patience with MS operating systems.  Win2K just happily
rearranged the IP addresses of every one of my network components, making them
unusable with the BBS setup and the rest of the home network.

  Again.

  Rather than go to the bother of moving everything off the drive, reinstalling
Win2k, moving everything back again, and then waiting for this to inevitably
happen again, I'm going to pull-in some Linux distros and use one of the backup
computers to learn the ropes with it.  In the meantime, incoming connections to
the BBS probably won't be happening.

  I've been fighting with this IP configuration for 2 days now, and it just
keeps changing itself to whatever it feels like, no matter what I do, and it's
a WAY too familiar feeling.

  *grin*  So be warned...  I'm probably going to have a host of questions along
the way.


       [daemon]                 
       In the shuffling madness...
