DMConnection provides news feeds for which we pay. Purchasing this dish reduces our inbound costs to $0.00 (barring maintanance), so EVENTUALLY we make money. Our outbound traffic is a small fraction of our inbound traffic, so for us our win is BIG. The bottom line: We will be buying one (if necessary, porting the software to run on VMS). -- Dick Munroe Internet: munroe@dmc.com Doyle Munroe Consultants, Inc.
