Daniel Hartmeier is the lead PF developer. How much are you willing to bet that he wouldn't be willing to come onsite for you, provided you pay him the same support contract? If all you want is a developer to work on your issue, that happens routinely with these guys. There've been numerous instances where folks have posted "bugs" (real or otherwise), and the issue has been resolved or patched within hours. What else could you ask for? -- Jason Dixon Argus Network Systems http://www.argus-networks.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
