I was offering you an OpenVMS 8.4 Alpha CD image. Let me know if you need it. That would be cool.

Last time I checked, it was like this, if someone has an absolutely imperatively important need to run their own mailserver, (mail going in both directions), they needed to make a specific request. And then convince or confuse the offended ISP. Comcast, and Cox, and Verizon, and even AT&T (down south), and possibly Megapath, (mine), normally want to know why. But strangely enough Megapath, doesn't care about a personal webserver living and running here. AT&T didn't care when I got port 25 unblocked i'm still blacklisted by every mail server due to a dynamic IP though. ;) The TOS also explicitly allows web servers or used to anyway Mind I have a VPS and everything. ;) (Bell ringing time: Dave there's a box by you complete with an interesting gadget inside, currently being used by two cats as a sleeping post, it really needs me.) ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again." -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff! http://gimme-sympathy.org/ My permanently-a-work-in-progress pet project.
