Hi Nick,

As you can see I've changed ISP from Zetnet to another company called
Force9, so I can now 'see' your version of zetnet.local which is
hidden from the users of the 'other' zetnet.local.

I live in Wakefield, which is in West Yorkshire, but I'm originally
from Birmingham in the West Midlands.

How many people do you get posting here? I wonder how many just lurk
as well?

Ah well, back to work :o(

Cheers - Dave

David, zetnet is still behind a firewall and will probably not come out
again. Some how this channel was left open and a few people started
posting. Not many really know the channel is available so posting
becomes infrequent......unfortunately. I used to lurk and sometimes
post to zetnet and due to past practices, I still come back to see if
anything has changed. But, I have a feeling that there are lurkers -
how many, I don't know nor will venture a guess.

I'm located in Southern California, in the USA. Other than that, don't
know what else to say.

Been a bit busy lately, but then this NG isn't as adictive as some
I've used so I guess it wont matter that I've not posted for a while.

Nice to see that my server keeps up though.

I should 'come clean' to this zetnet.local I guess. I used to post a
lot to the Zetnet groups and had a few problems with my account so I
left.

So, if I post a few more messages than is 'normal' here I appologise
in advance.

Thanks Nick :o)

I'm quite happy with my new ISP, their modems answer every time and
I've yet to get any problems logging in.

I'm told that they have several news servers in parallel, which
reduces the possibilities of loosing service if one needs repairs or
has a fault.

I see that there is another person posting in this newsgroup as well.
