Quick, Mr. Peabody, to the WayBack Machine!!! It doesn't always work, but there is a wonderful archive of internet pages, available to all of us: http://archive.org Go there, and enter any URL, and it will attempt to find old, archived copies of the page. John's appeared in 12 versions, from August, 1999 to Feb, 2003. I tried the latest one, and all the links appear to work fine. http://web.archive.org/web/20030202191330/http://www.cyberspace.org/~jh/dial/ Dave 37.28N 121.97W -
