Here, not only are the SMTP and NNTP servers carefully protected, but they monitor _you_ to make sure that you don't burden their network with NNTP services that you might give away ;) ! They even monitor home based web servers. They will allow it if you sign up for a "business class" service, which requires more $ outlay. ;-) -- Warren W. Gay VE3WWG http://home.cogeco.ca/~ve3wwg
