[LUNI] VPS ..

[Samir Faci]

Actually, Gene.. that's exactly what I was trying to remember.  I
remember you mentioning it before..

and I thought it was a really nifty product.. but never had a need for
it before.  I was trying to find the
thread that mentioned it but couldn't find the proper search term.
Thanks.  I'll be sure to poke around in
it.
