ipfilter.log

[Francis Whittington]

Thank you very much for your reply. Your suggestions did the trick. I will 
read the Official handbook to see what else is different with 5.3. How did 
you know I was using 5.3. You answered  one of my questions once before 
didn't you?

                                                    Thanks Again
