I know something about a Cobalt box was mentioned. From what I understand, these are machines made by a division of Sun (or something) as plug-and-play sort of web server machines...which is to say...who knows how configurable they are out of the box without some real know-how? I had an account on an ISP who used one of these...and the Web control panel had some gratuitous Javascript to handle account maintenance. The admins said they couldn't change the interface as it came that way from the factory pre-installed. I know nothing about these machines...but it could be that all of the stuff is set up in such a way as to make admin of the machine easy for those who don't know a lot about the underlying OS...but hard to modify and get into the innards. On the other hand, it could be that Dave doesn't feel like reading the manual after all. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV/3 | "And if the ground yawned, Phone: (814) 455-7333 | I'd step to the side and say, Email: davros@ycardz.com | "Hey ground!
