Hello All,
Since I sent my last message (below) our ISP, Primenet, has been having
major problems with their network (Packet losses) and many of you have been
sending me mail regarding this problem.

So my friend (and customer), Mark at Why Telecommunication, was generous to
provide us with a back-up FTP site this morning. The address is
ftp.whytel.com and directory name is inetmgr. You may find both versions of
Standard and Bundled editions in that directory.

Thank you in advance,

Soorena
