Thus spake Randy Bush >a - his address was in the header. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you had overlooked his email address (as I did the first time I read his message and *almost* sent off much the same reply you did). >b - you may want to actually read his message "in either the educational or > business community" I did read that...thus my paragraph (which, again, you considerately (hopefully I spelled that right this time) snipped) about you being happy at the greater use of bandwidth resulting in higher charges. That still doesn't explain your excuse about him rethinking his business plan. Hopefully .edu's aren't in the business of "selling bandwidth" per se, but are in the business of educating their students...Napster would get in the way of that and legitimately could/should be blocked by the institution. To the original poster, my apologies for taking this off your original request...I've never checked into a good way to block Napster...the only problems we've had with it here was office folks making use of it...that was more easily handled through administrative means than technical. :) -- Jeff McAdams Email: [email protected] Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456
