"First Internet message" and ...

[Richard Pope]

Mike,
     That is easy. I am running a router/firewall as my gateway and I 
have a gigabit switch. I also have some 100mbit hubs and switches but 
I'm not using them. We can also get in to the fact the proper place to 
reply is at the top of the post and not at the bottom. Top posting has 
been the proper way since private BBS' were in existence.
GOD Bless and Thanks,
rich!
