I've only had OT set up for about three months and I have it running after NetMgr (actually, Squish -> NetMgr -> Wimm -> OT) also. I had to set OT up to handle an obnoxious Twit who insisted on playing ping pong with me when all I was trying to do was get echomail flowing from an area that I had just turned on. I really should dive into OT more thoroughly....

Idiots like those are the ones who cause SQ> theoretical situations to become "working models." :-) Gawd, how I could wish you to take your attitude and moderate some of the echoes that I've been "lurking in". I'm not going to mention the names of the echoes, but I will say that some of the language and juvenile behavior belongs in the back alleys. What ever happened to the spirit of helping each other in Fido? I'll get off the "soap box" now, least I become a "working model"... Cheers ...
