Thanks Roy
I looked right through the Cute set-up and couldnt find anything that I
could use
There is filtering, but I couldnt see how it would work
A mate of mine suggested Telnet (a command line prog) but is still not sure
if
this would do the trick.
I wonder if my host 'file upload' section would help me... i'll try...
