Hum, Why not set up your PC as a "transparent proxy"? Point the mainframe to the PC as the YOU update site. Use iptables on the PC (you are running Linux on the PC, right?) to redirect all incoming port requests from the mainframe's IP address to the real YOU update site. I don't know if I have this exactly correct, but I think it is doable. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
