Fred Douglis also doesn't know; the difference is, he wants to change net.misc into something it isn't, whereas you just want to know what it is for. Net.misc gets its name from an abbreviation of the word "miscellaneous". Any topic not particularly relevant to another group is put here. Often, followups will appear here as well, for as long as people remain interested in a topic. -Steve Wagar
