Then you would probably consider it a good thing that the code he gave is not, in fact, the transponder code for hijacking. And no, I'm not going to detail what the correct one is. Go ask a pilot (such as the one living in my house), if you want to know. Pretty much all of them know it; even those who don't fly planes one could reasonably hijack. -- *************************************************************************** Joel Baker System Administrator - lightbearer.com [email protected] http://www.lightbearer.com/~lucifer
