Well, in most companies (at least those that have a central internet connection), people *can* send emails in one way or the other... Really, I don't see the problem. If you cannot send emails from your company, hell, then do it at home or from an internet caf��.

They are afraid that the staff will give away company secrets.

Isn't that what the contracts are for? The company is free to sue their employees for breach of contract if you send out secret information. However, working time and the like surely won't be allowed as a "secret item", though... So again, just send your patch from home or some internet caf� or something like that :-) MfG, JBG -- Jan-Benedict Glaw jbglaw@lug-owl.de . +49-172-7608481 _ O _ "Eine Freie Meinung in einem Freien Kopf | Gegen Zensur | Gegen Krieg _ _ O fuer einen Freien Staat voll Freier Bürger" | im Internet! | im Irak!
