MIght look at that, when we finally do the dsl thing here.
WIll do smoothwall on the main connected box, but sitll have to figure some
things out to get old blind man's familiar
screenreader on one box.

Hmmm that's a new one on me, don't know how that's supposed
to work.

sounds right.  I have squish kill passing through mail in
transit also.

Would agree.  I"m not sure what it's story is, but my
routing works well enough through 3634/12.
THe strange part is my z1 routing seems to work alright
through her system.  <go figure>.  Anybody lurking around
here shed some light on all this?
