Good `Subject:' lines are very important. Do yourself and others a favor by selecting an appropriate `Subject:' line, so that people don't waste time reading things that aren't of interest to them or questions that they can't answer. Something like `386bsd questions' is fairly useless. Something more specific will help you and your readers: Subject: ifconfig, com1 lockups, console driver, etc. ? The less descriptive your `Subject:' line the more likely people will skip it without reading it. Thanks for listening. -- Richard Foulk richard@pegasus.com
