er.. I think the only one who's actually interested in understanding what I'm trying to do is _you_.
Very much so. I'm going to attempt to finish my "Small Netserver HOWTO" and to actually update my "Sendmail SMTP AUTH HOWTO" while I'm on vacation, so I want to be able to explain a bunch of stuff. Eventually I'm going to put your traffic shaping stuff in the Netserver HOWTO as well, you know. You'll be famous. <wink>

Wow. Didn't think about that. I'm leaning against something more integrated but yeah.. I understand what you mean.
The point is that you later give the user a choice of three scripts to download:
1. Just the facts, ma'am.
2. The slightly embellished story.
3. The full nine yards.
All three scripts eventually end up optimized and integrated as best possible, but you've done your users a *huge* favor by allowing them to select the level of complexity and power they want, or choosing a simple solution instead.

I'm trying to get some too. Not much luck though. Can I find some of _those_ friends here?? :-)
Dunno... where's here? <grin>
