Why the confession? Actions speak louder still. This is an ignorant hachet-job you call administration. I wouldn't care if you'd leave me out of it, but you want to play at name-dropping, "oooo look kiddies, all these connections", and link everyone with your foul-up. >Some of the machines are within the AT&T system, please, I don't have >time to check the organization each machine belongs to.

Are you sure you can handle a great big 386 all by yourself? Maybe you need training wheels? Why do you keep changing your names? Are you embarrassed to go by one name and live with what you say? Are you getting set-up to pull a bone-head JJ stunt? Why don't you just tell us what's next so we can avoid the rush to dis-connect. -- CLBrunow - KA5SOF Loci Products, POB 833846-131, Richardson, Texas 75083 clb@loci.uucp, loci@killer.uucp, loci@csccat.uucp
