Has anyone ever used a voip service which acts as a Toronto phone line? I have been considering trying it. Sid

Thanks very much for these responses - I've got this solved now though the answer is kind of anticlimactic - turns out it was a bug with Zoneedit's WebForward feature. I only found out after emailing their tech support; I didn't even realize they had tech support (being a mostly free service, after all) until I'd looked through their FAQ and documentation about 25 times for why my setup, copied exactly from their example, wasn't working. As for port numbers in DNS records, the WebForward feature uses HTTP redirection. Here's an explanation: http://mail.gnhlug.org/pipermail/gnhlug-discuss/2002-December/001963.html Still, I will take Fraser's suggestion and set up Apache with Virtual Hosts 'cause it sounds neat and there are HOWTO's for using Zope behind Apache. BTW: my Linksys BEFSR41 port forwarding feature doesn't do proxy-like forwarding to specific ports; it just forwards connections to any of a range of ports to a host on the interal network. ------------------- Andrew Malcolmson -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

Knowing what I do about some of M$'s attempts to own data, I would be concerned if your emails are regarded as private.

There was a thread approx a month ago on can.internet.highspeed with Sympatico users complaining bitterly that Sympatico is now blocking *INBOUND* (yes, I said *INBOUND*) port 25, as well as outbound port 25 to/from user IP addresses.
