Thanks for the offer, Neil, but we're somewhat committed to our current
"who" especially with the new CSuite Remote Services hook. I do almost
have the host/IP matching done and it is tied into to our login timer
and the daily modem stats/graphs so I had to tackle it anyway.
BTW, a trick you might want to try for your CGI is that we cache ours --
if no on has logged in since the last run we display the same results --
big win performance-wise.
