Did have a server at work at one stage, but it was already running when I started, and never gave trouble (typical Netware, it kept on working, stable as a rock). :) Mind you, their IP was a mess, I had to completely redo their IP addressing on the Windows server.

Yeah, just tinker and see what happens. :) I also have an AllStar node that can access any of the digital modes with an ordinary FM radio. :) Vk> There's a couple of things I've done that I don't tell many about, Vk> because while they work and are well behaved, they're not officially Vk> sanctioned. :) N1> Those are often the best kind of features!
