Worked like a charm. And that's fine, not trying to tell you what to do. Just wanted to make you aware of IPCop if you weren't already. BTW, when I need more flexibility in services (e.g., Proxy, VPN, etc...), I _do_ setup a FC/RHEL/CentOS server in the DMZ zone of an IPCop box. -- Bryan J.

Any tax rate that penalizes them will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below them). Linear algebra, let alone differential calculus or even ele- mentary concepts of limits, is mutually exclusive with US journalism. So forget even attempting to explain how tax cuts work. ;->
