It also pays to note what works and what dos not. And to accept the truth, even
when it doesn't agree with your own idea of what should be. Strange that you
should jump into Bjorn's corner without the slightest idea of what really
occurred.

On the other hand, I send and receive many fido connections daily from all
sorts of systems without the slightest problem. So you be happy making
assumptions, and I'll continue being happy to accept the facts.

Cheers, Bob
