It would seem reasonable to me that there is some hierarchy involved...European division deals with its network, etc. On Sun, 22 Jun 2003, Jonathan Crockett wrote: > I am a network engineer for a cable ISP.

Not that there isn't one, I just don't know what it is. Andy --- Andy Dills Xecunet, Inc. www.xecu.net 301-682-9972 ---
