Excellent.

re:

Sounds good.

Just so you know, working with plain ASCII text is much easier for
us (our Inquiry Tracking system is not Windows based).

We will not setup the ALLOWs for your machine until it is up and running.
As soon as you let us know that it is up, please send us an email.  We
will then verify forward/reverse DNS and add the appropriate ALLOWs on
our toplevel IDD relay, idd.unidata.ucar.edu.

Cheers,

Tom
