Brian,<br>
<br>
What an interesting web site. I have book marked it and will check it
from time to time. 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. Just
interested, a little. And where does one look up, if possible, the DNS
tables??<br>
<br>
Thank, Bob Smith, Petite Elite<br>
