Although I'm not really sure what you mean by `via ISCSI' (a scsi transport?) >> Your list email address looks like it might be a phony (I didn't try >> it) but mine isn't so if you don't mind the personal contact please >> let me know and I'll write direct. > > Well I didn't realise my address looked fake :P It is real and I'd be > happy to try and answer your questions to the best of my ability. Hehe... no slam intended... some people do obfuscate there email on lists such as this, and yours is somewhat unusual looking. I've had people say the same thing about mine... `newsguy' sounds kind of made up. (True story =>) It used to be `zippo.com' some yrs ago but they were sued by the famous `Zippo' lighter people and had to change the name. They picked the silly name `newsguy'.
