Hi Mike (and everyone else),

I disabled attachments on TTL - was concerned about spam a while ago -
so you can either send the file directly to Matt or send it to TTL FTP
Incoming and I'll move it to the Data I/O directory.

Zip it up and call it Promlink-XP-SampleConfig.zip or something obvious...

Guess I can allow small attachments, say up to 100K if folks are OK with
that.
