Re: TI-H: Re: Grant: Master of AOL (NOT!)
Why the hell do you keep avoiding the subject? WE AREN'T DISCUSSING OS
PACKAGES. We are merely discussing usage in terms of finding out information
about yours and other people's internet connections. ping, tracert, and
winipcfg do the job. Why are you talking about Linux routers? what does that
have to do with anything? I'm shooting apples and you're shooting frog legs.
Stop avoiding. I'm getting pissed.
