A number of people have also requested if I can supply them with some of the information I have received. Given the impressive response, I will wait a little while until the response dies down and then I will post a summary to the net. I fear that if I post one now, I may have to post another down the road which is more up-to-date. -- {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!utcsstat!anthony {ihnp4|decvax|utzoo|utcsrgv}!utcs!utzoo!utcsstat!anthony
