As I replied to his post, I agree that given enough time between searching 
archives and the free lists one can get an answer. I am looking to see if 
that service may help on the times that the initial search/posts to the 
lists fail to yield an answer.

Thanks for that feedback, but in particular I wanted to know the FreeBSD 
section. Do the "experts" there seem knowledgeable?

I will get the job to pay for it. :-)

Usually I give the search/free list 3 to 4 days before I start to get 
desperate. :-)
Specially if there is a project held up because I can't find an answer.

Actually I am aware of the forums, but must admit have not tried them. I 
think I will give them a try.

Thanks for your feedback.
