    There seems to be a problem with the new VSAT network station in Baghdad.
    OK - tried then to call techies at the UN embassy in Bagdad - odd the voice link (on the same VSAT circuit) aint working either ???

    Some on this board have an association with UN Intelligence Taskforce.

    However, some have been on the other side.
