BTW, nice try. The TCP/IP stack used by MS was rewritten and contains zero code directly from the BSD stack. I just wanted to see if you'd bite...again. Some of the TCP/IP utilities in MS contains BSD code -- and even the copyrights -- but the stack was completely rewritten. »www.kuro5hin.org/?op=displaystor···641/7357 »archives.neohapsis.com/archives/···827.html Come back when you aren't so wet behind the ears. lol

InGreenwood @rr.com	Is there a way to ban redhatnation, or do we only get to ignore him? We have enough misinformation here with out spreading it deliberately.
