What about just buying another computer that you do not have to update? Give it only a local IP address so that the outside world cannot access it. If I understand what you want correctly, the new computer would not need to send data to the outside world. The new computer and the outside world could be blissfully unaware of each other. -- Michael hennebry at web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "This dream is brought to you by Sharassin of Shan.
