Not to unlikely. Yes I think that would be the LAST code I would pick. Something like "I need to send you some numbers" would get far less unwelcome attention and is just as distinctive. Airports use similar codes in paging, they NEVER announce: "Fire and Bomb Squad report to gate 6". It comes out as: "Mr Williams please meet your party at gate 6 right away." The reasons are pretty obvious in both cases. If Mr Williams is the head to the fire and bomb squad for that shift it is both secure and known to everyone who needs to know. -- *Mike Waters AA4MW/7 ...!sun!sunburn!dover!waters OR moto@cad.Berkley.EDU* "Calvin Coolidge was the greatest man who ever came out of Plymouth Corner, Vermont." -- Clarence Darrow
