	Yah, I get a lot of Poe jokes.  [grin]  Doesn't help that I live
in Baltimore at the moment.

	Don't feel stupid.  Seriously.  I'm really glad when people ask
questions about things that don't make sense to them.  And you did know
that Web servers normall listen on port 80, and saw this as an anomaly.
That to me is a troubleshooting mind, not someone stupid.

	And that goes for the rest of you, too.  And for me.   [grin]

	Nobody is born with Phenomenal Unix Powers.  We all have to ask,
learn, and sometimes learn through screwing up.  I know I've done that
often enough.  Last week I learned what happens if you compile your
kernel with the wrong processor type.  (It doesn't boot.  It gets
through LILO, does the first half of the ..... lines before it gets to
"Uncompressing the kernel", and reboots.  Endlessly.)  I have a long
list of ways I've screwed up that I've learned from, and I'm sure most
of the rest of you do too.  So don't feel bad for not knowing something
through Mystic Geekness.  I don't.

Can't remember if she's a K-6 or a Duron,
