Please regard this only as a temporary loan.

Also be sure to stock up on cheap yellow mustard.

  Some Mitch is better than no Mitch ;)  You can have him back when we're
done with him.  I guess I'll be going to Tellico for a 'wheeling weekend
sooner than later.  Courtney and I were already talking about it.  We'll
just take a week's va-ca down there.  Visit here Aunt then off to Tellico
for some 4X4 fun.  Maybe this can be the FPLRG trip for summer 2002 or when
ever Mitch is settled in.  Bill, Mark, Wes, you all seeing this??

Well thats a new one to me.  I was ready to reply when you found the
stromberg name.  I have never seen a Stromberg on a Series Rover Before.  I
could tell it was not a Solex, Zenith, Rochester, Holley or Weber.  I have
even seen SU setups on Series but never a Stromberg.  So unless you want to
be completely unique, I'd get rid of it.  Sure it may run ok, but I havent
seen parts for a Stromberg in years and I doubt that you will  be able to
put together a decent spares kit for trail side emergencies or rebuild it.

But then again didn't Stromberg get bought out by SU?  What else came with
one of those?

In a horrible coincidence, list regular and very good friend to countless 
people on the list and in the Rover community, John Cranfield was seriously 
injured by a hi-lift this weekend while off-roading in Maine. I understand 
he was airlifted to hospital and underwent surgery and is safe but still 
badly injured. Apparently the jack slipped and hit him in the face, knocking 
him unconcious and injuring his eye.

John is the most skilled and experienced off-roader I know and this just 
shows you always need to be extra careful. Let's all hope for his full and 
speedy recovery.

We're thinking of you John.

Do you know where he is now? I'm sure there are lot of people who would like

I looked at the photos as well -- there's a Stromberg name plate on
what appears to be the front corner.  Isn't the model number visible,
or has the plate corroded to the point where it can't be read? 

Strombergs were used on Triumphs and numerous other UK cars as well, as
were SUs.  I have a Stromberg 150CD on my Spitfire and recently rebuilt 
a pair of SUs for it; Stromberg was US spec and SU was UK spec.  Parts 
should be available unless this is a real oddball model.  I guess it 
all depends on how well it runs and if you can find a parts supplier.

Hell, that thing could've come off a Packard, Tucker, or even a Rolls.

Good choices. I'd recommend running FreeBSD, it's pretty easy to set up 
and administer, but since you don't want to use UNIX, there is a version 
of sendmail for NT. It's available at the sendmail website 
http://www.sendmail.org.

I'm not sure right now but I'll pass it on if I find out. I know the 
hospital asked people not to call. The last thing they need is to be 
inundated with calls.

My husband Peter and I are acting as a go between for information about John
Cranfield.  The hospital and his family have asked that we help reduce the
number of phone calls, so please don't hesitate to email me for information
or with messages and I will pass them on to John.  If you wish to send
anything via snail mail, please contact me I'll let you know within a day
where you can send things.

At last report he was stable, I am awaiting a phone call from his neice at
this time.

Apache tends to be more stable and seems to have better throughput than
anything Microshite puts out.  As Stephen mentioned, there's a version 
of sendmail for NT and it's hopefully patched up to the point where all
the current anti-aliasing and relay-inhibiting features are included. 
These are important.

Exchange is a bad idea; the fact that it's tightly integrated into the 
NT OS--just like IIS--means it's a virus' best friend.  It seems as
though most of the truly evil virii appearing today are based on systems
running NT, IIS, and Exchange server...probably for this very reason.

There may also be a version of Postfix (alternative to sendmail) for NT; 
I've been hearing some good things about it from other friends and it's
supposed to be mucho easier to configure as well.  Check it out at
http://www.postfix.com.

Then again, running anything on UNIX is just plain better ;-).

Thanks for the additional info.

I agree with the above statement.

FYI:  there is a growing trend that has been reported in the IA comunity
about UNIX virus/trojans/worms etc.  No where near the problems found in the
Windows environment, but still a growing trend.

I'mm running redhat on an old 486, which is my firewall/router/mailserver
Its been up for 180 days and that includes all the upgrades :) - another
benefit. I am not sure but I think you can serve apache thru it.

I like to think of linux as the "land rover" of operating systems (but I
know some would say FreeBSD is). And like my Land rover, it isn't quite
stock either :)

Reply-To: [email-masked]

I have several lights out in the interior off my 96 disco.  
First, where the gear shifter is, the first gear through park gear lights are 
out.  I have been sucessful in taking the trim out but after that i do not 
know how to get to the light bulbs that need replaced.
Second, on the dash, the air condition system lighting is out ( this is the 
red and blue lights, the 1 2 3 4 lights, and the control for air flow.  How 
do you get back to these lights.

Sh!t... If someone's got some way of getting a message to him, please
include my wishes for his speedy recovery.

On the subject of lethal hi-lifts: I also have the tendecy to become
blase', and have to remind myself constantly to oil the climbing pins
before use, and to always ensure that the handle is up when the jack is
under strain, even then I slip up sometimes, thankfully without any dire
consequences so far.
