Owww crap. The majority of web traffic is _from_ the server _to_ the client. Same for ftp, realaudio, etc... In fact, usually the server is the _remote_ machine and the client is the _local_ machine. Anybody who believes in having the client remote and the server local should be shipped off to whereever the server is ;) regards, Rik -- IA64: a worthy successor to i860. http://www.surriel.com/ http://distro.conectiva.com/ Send all your spam to aardvark@nl.linux.org (spam digging piggy) - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
