I tried sending PAULB with and without the null and in upper and lower
case. I tried with both version 2 and 3 clients. The identification
tab apparently doesn't appear unless one has Client for Microsoft
Networks installed which I didn't. It's so odd. I'm thinking of
bringing my computer from work home to see if their is something
peculiar to this computer. The rest of this message is quoted
material since I wasn't cc'ing the list.
