I'm not you know :-) I connect by dialin, so my machine isn't always "on
the air". But if you let me know, I'll bring it up and you can try to
relay through it. You'll get a non-standard and unnecessarily rude
message back.

I have that acl, yes, but also accept with an acl diametrically opposite
to yours (accept instead of deny, with an endpass). Yours negates it,
actually quite funny to see working.

Philip's comment that the idea isn't good, anyway, holds the sway.

Best and thanks,

Tony
