Thanks - it would be a useful facility if it worked properly.
[BTW, is your eMail system working okay? I've sent a few eMails to you using
forumadmin@digitalvillage.co.uk and got no reply, so I presume either my eMails are not reaching you, or your repplies are being lost in the ether...]
Some useless information. "Ether" is a class of chemical compounds, but back in ye olde days, it was "An invisible medium through which all light, heat and electromagnetic waves propagate". The networks which we know and love for connecting up our PC's and Macs was originally developed from a standard which transmitted data using radio waves (used in Hawaii, and called Aloha), and radio waves pass "through the ether" - hence the name "Ethernet". Ethernet was a proprietary name (the system is actually called CSMA/CD - so you can see why Ethernet stuck!).
