I had some troubles loading a web page, so I decided to try looking for connectivity. I did this: $ nslookup www.worldwideschool.org Server: 151.164.11.201 Address: 151.164.11.201#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: www.worldwideschool.org Address: 207.195.133.148 $ ping 207.195.133.148 PING 207.195.133.148 (207.195.133.148) 56(84) bytes of data.

Using "man ping" gave no results on this, and "info ping" shows the same thing as "man". Mike -- p="p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}";main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} This message made from 100% recycled bits. You have found the bank of Larn. I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
