If its a unix thats not Linux or FreeBSD, I see what you mean. Elsewise, would you care to explain why you can't write a proxy server in Eu? I've actually been trying this trick for a while now, I'm a bit obsessed with servers coded in Eu. (One time, I tried to write a proxy server in Eu, but the platform for the server was in Windows, not Linux, so I was totally lost and gave up without ever really starting.) jbrown Linux User:190064 Linux Machine:84163 --
