Hi Jan! (et. al.)

My experience with web configuration is  it  discards the configuration
you've done manually. So a little caution to those of us who do their
configuration interchangeably. But to most technically incline; the beauty
and joy of manual configuration would equal the web interface configuration
and plus the awe factor when other people see you doing your configuration
adds the genius effect. Mind you, i don't have ill - feelings towards web
configuration - as long as it works, right. Thanks for the link! it's a life
- saver.


Regards,

Daniel
