Hey Helpful People!

Thx, Dave.  i got your suggestion, but hadn't  tried it out yet.  See, i
don't actually know as much about computers & stuff like that as i would
like people to assume, my boss & present company included.  To be honest,
your message seemed really great, but it confused me and i was going to
have to do a lot of reading to figure it out! :-)  But, your parenthesized
synopsis in the attached message here magically cleared a whole lot of it
up.  Maybe.  We'll see.  i don't get to do that test that i could've used
SL for again until next month, but i'm going to do my best to be ready for
it then.  So, thx again for what looks like it's probably great advice!

And, not to be all that picky or sensitive or whatever, if life hasn't
taught me anything else it's to take what people give you and make the
best of it, whatever it is.  (Wasn't there someone Forrest Gump that said
the same kinda thing, only comparing it to a box of chocolates or
something?)  Serious, it really doesn't matter all that much here, but if
you're talking about me, "she" & those pronouns are the ones to use, if
you don't mind?  i mean thx for inviting me into the club and all, but i
think the bathrooms in it have those gross stand-up things that i don't
even ever wanna be in the same room with.

Thx also for all the work y'all do to make SL - and make it a better
place.  i don't think of it in the same "game" way almost everyone else
does, but it gets the job done just the same.  This whole thing has been a
great learning experience for me not just for the in-world part but for
listening to y'all develop the source and the tantalizing opportunity to
get involved in the whole exciting project myself.  (One day...)

Sorry for all the off-topic content.  Please return to your regularly
scheduled programming.  ("Programming."  hahahahaha)

Socksified works but yeah, takes more "liberal" corp IT attitudes than
most will allow. I sent offlist the solution I used..  (openvpn  to home
networks static IP and route all SL traffic down that using local routes
on client and openvpn server)
