I'm not doing anything unusual to my firewall or router at all Lee.
And I am using skype occasionally, with it using the onboard nforce 
version of the av97 chipset.  And except for needing to use 
'skype_dsp_hijacker -2nd' in the icon to launch it, its all in 
the /etc/modules.conf file.  I think maybe you even helped me set it up 
originally last fall.  Do I need to copy that back to the list again?

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules.  I do use spamassassin too. :-)
