Hi Mark,

These at least express this kind of nonsense when it suits their mindset in
this it seems..

Manuel actually makes it easier on my system with his polling on the hour.. I
don't have to send him echomail and files Crash to get them to him fast.. His
polling takes care of that :) :)  And with his system initiating the call, it's
less of a hit on my resourses here as well.

Exactly.  He gets a full feed here so he wants to get all of his echomail/files
ASAP.. works out well for the two of us.
