I will run the software on our beta machine and see how well this non command line user can interface with the product...... (closest I get to a command line is nslookup.....<G>) sorry got a 24 channel t-1 in the house who needs a command line.... But from what I have seen Shawn this product rocks and I hope it will be real easy for me to make functional...... also is the manual available with the eval version for the quoted $50.00.... I hate to bug some one so obviously busy.....
