(no subject)

[Paul]

Thanks for the response, and I was kind of hoping that would have not 
been the response.

As a side note, I have posted the thread again, but with a subject 
(Network routing and Multiple ADSL lines) this time. Can all future 
responses go to the thread with the subject, and not this one

Thanks again
Paul
