The main strength of Qnet is the detection, and even better, the way of allowing people to clean themselves, and then get back on the net. Having a helpdesk tell (different) people the same line over and over again gets tedious. Putting the effort into making a nice explanatory webpage get so much more "return on investment"... ;) Kind regards, JP Velders
