Hey Brian. You sent me an email as well but I think its identical to this
so I'll just reply here. I haven't been able to get to that page yet. It
says something about it being 'down for maintenance' or something.
I also appreciate your thoughts on module conncetion, but unless a bunch of
other people speak up and say a similar thing I think we'll go with the
current method.
Thanks again!
