Brian,
What an interesting web site. I have book marked it and will check it
from time to time. Not that I know just what all I am looking at.
Do you have a suggestion for a sniffer like you mentioned that will look
at the route I am taking when I hook up to someone. Just interested, a
little. And where does one look up, if possible, the DNS tables??
Thank, Bob Smith, Petite Elite

routers you see listed are the mother of all routers and are
collectively responsible for the entire N American continent. I'm
guessing the people in Alaska are pretty pissed right about now.
