Yup, I had to drag a monitor into the BYUSA storage closet to set phantom up. And that was the new phantom. The previous one had been dutifully serving the UUG for years in the same storage closet. That was a pretty terrible place to host a server, especially because we had to get seven layers of permission to go power it back on after power outages. The CS department is a much better home, so make sure they know that you are grateful. I think that the new UUG officers would be well served to do something nice for the CS department once in a while to show their gratitude. --Dave -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
