I had to listen to one of the newer ISP's in Houston Brag endlessly about how easy HIS Nt servers were to setup to do ISDN, and Web Servers, and . . . . When I asked him how he was going to handle doing CGI, "Oh, Visual Basic!" Hmm, is this good or bad? (Serious, is it? It seems that would be a REALLY cluky way to do CGI.) (Then again, this IS MS NT....) NT is a great system, please don't get me wrong, I like it. I just don't see why some people insist on using a flat headed screwdriver on a phillips head screw! You get the Idea... I wished him luck. He is going to need it! Paul Flores Phoenix DataNet (713) 486-8337
