Laptop, small HD, used for dial-up when traveling around. That's the reason for the "flakiness". Some of the dial up backbone DNS servers only allow connections from machines dialed in to their local servers so if I switch from uunet to eli to cwia I end up having to figure out another set of numbers to use. I'd rather have a set of known open nameservers that will respond to a DNS request from anywhere. G -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
