Not exactly. The new NWAM (in development now) has a configuration interface -- comand line and GUI tools -- and doesn't force you to edit text files to control the system. But, yes, the broader idea is that. You shouldn't have to go through acrobatics to do something simple like this. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
