Seal any and every hole around the exterior, especially if you have rodents in your area. Rats can collapse their ribcage so they can get through incredibly small holes and they will breed quickly. Trust me, I know, and it's not cheap to get them out either. If you're going to make a hole from the exterior to the interior, make it a little bit bigger and put a couple of draw strings through. Sooner or later you may want to run another cable or replace the existing one. Drawing one through first before removing the old one is safer. -- End Of The Line BBS - Plano, TX telnet endofthelinebbs.com 23 .
