What an interesting web site.&nbsp; I have book marked it and will check it
from time to time.&nbsp; Not that I know just what all I am looking at.<br>
    <br>
Do you have a suggestion for a sniffer like you mentioned that will
look at the route I am taking when I hook up to someone.&nbsp; Just
interested, a little.&nbsp; And where does one look up, if possible, the DNS
tables??<br>
    <br>
Thank, Bob Smith, Petite Elite<br>
