    Brillant. Works too. Mostly. Though shotguns, hawks and gargoyles can be DOS attacks.

    Maybe I need a new sig line:

    You can transmit Foot & Mouth in Email attachments. Some well known Politicians obviously are not trained in avoiding that payload.

    OS related problems - if you use Windows there is a security threat because it won't work with windows closed. Also this is one area where Linux is substantially slower when using the intergrated carrier.

    Maybe IBEC like comreg and other telecoms providers are http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2795.txt complient ?

    And in case anyone was wondering why the ESB has been running fibre along the national grid - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3251.txt - shows some of the benefits of having broadband in the interests of consumer choice.

    I realise after reading those RFCs:

    1) I am not spending enough time watching TV and numbing my brain. Could be zero interest in watching Sport, Reality TV and Soaps.

    2) The writers of those RFCs obviously don't have TV either.

    3) We all have too much spare time
