  If Joe had posted this in the nthelp group, you might have a point. =

  it is posted here I understood that it was about a Linux trojan.

  I also understood the window size reference as referring to the tcp/ip =

  Nice try though.

  I agree with the previous poster that your pointless use of HTML in a=20

off). It=20
  adds nothing to the informational content and bloats your messages. =
Kind of=20
  like a lot of the "features" in Microsoft's apps and OSs.

  Why do you use HTML?
