So instead of having to be within 13,000 feet or whatever of the CO, I only have to be within 10,000 feet of my local switchbox, whatever that thing in the alley is called. The big square box, not the small rectangular one behind the house. --=20 Nathan England Arcanum Linux ! nathan at the-arcanum.org jabber id: linuxjunkie@jabber.earth.li "A free society is one where it is safe to be unpopular." --Adlai Stevenson Registered Linux User #189789, Machine #106603 www.sincerechoice.org --=-WQQRtFmqwAugTuPxfoaR Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBAJ/bPBSK6uOjZg9gRAid/AKDp9tUepuQv4T+OvCGKU1yxJx1JPQCfcqhi VeedcA4e20layA7OLT4Vhl8= =spUT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-WQQRtFmqwAugTuPxfoaR--
