This is a ritual that I end up undergoing multiple times a week. The problem is, of course, that the Wollongong software simply does not work (even its original author, who is now behind a competing software package, admits it) and that Wollongong simply does not care. I would like to see a policy statement forbidding US government sites from wasting any more taxpayers' money on Wollongong software, and some note from the NIC to that effect in the TCP/IP Vendors List. Since Wollongong presumably does care about its revenue, this might induce them to fix the bugs...or go out of business, an equally acceptable alternative. -- Mark -- -------
