Although, yes I got it to work by creating more ports in Zoom's Virtual Server confuration but it's not really the way to go...was just something that worked. I want to start a new thread and am hoping y'all will input. Bob, I'm gonna copy/paste your mini lecture here to the new thread, because it deals w/exacty what I want to do. thx both of you for your help John Rose -- You ever notice the expression on your neighbor's face when you start talking about linux?
