Since I specifically inquired as to the ability to run things like "remote-desktop" over the connection and was assured that I could, then I will not be a happy bunny if it turns out that I can't use anything other than :80 and :443 (although :443 would still allow me to have my ssh connection, so I could still have my emails working fine! :D) Grant. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
