Hi Thomas

If my previous message went direct to you, I apologize.  I meant for it 
to reply to the list.

I'm an old unix programmer and when I see 'temp' it stands out.  On Unix 
/tmp and /var/tmp are special directories where you put temporary stuff 
you don't care about.  I've been writing software since the 70's and 
don't recall ever seeing a /temp on an OS.

I just went to teamdrive.com again and it sends me to 
https://synqion.com/ immediately.  There is a tool called wget -- I 
don't know if you're familiar with it or not -- but it acts like a 
browser but sends its output to a file.  So for instance, if I run
'wget wget http://teamdrive.com -O t.out' it creates a file with the 
output from the access.  When I look at t.out it's a single line of text 
about 60k long.  Wget says:

wget http://teamdrive.com -O t.out

So clearly it's getting redirected somehow on my end.  Why you should 
not see the change but I do -- I am confused about.  But I'm in the US 
so we're using different name servers (DNS) and I don't understand the 
net to that level of detail.

Personally I use as vanilla a version of Ubuntu as I can because I'm 
more likely to get help when I need it.
