...remainder of ad elided Is it just me, or does this sound like a commercial version of SATAN?

ISS and SATAN are different tools. There is a non-commercial version of ISS available. ISS didn't get as much notice as SATAN - I guess it's because it's author isn't as widely known as Dan Farmer. -- Ed Carp, N7EKG Ed.Carp@linux.org, ecarp@netcom.com 214/993-3935 voicemail/digital pager 800/558-3408 SkyPager Finger ecarp@netcom.com for PGP 2.5 public key an88744@anon.penet.fi "Past the wounds of childhood, past the fallen dreams and the broken families, through the hurt and the loss and the agony only the night ever hears, is a waiting soul. Patient, permanent, abundant, it opens its infinite heart and asks only one thing of you ... 'Remember who it is you really are.'" -- "Losing Your Mind", Karen Alexander and Rick Boyes

Err, no its just because ISS is called ISS. Though if Klaus was into B&D, bisexuality, gutter philosophy courses, exhibitionism and tight blank pants perhaps it/he would be better known. Wadda you reckon Klaus?
