[Xitami] I wanna get this guy

[Jill Heske]

Michael,

Thanks very much for the response.  "World-famous" might be a little
optimistic :)  Hope you liked the book.  I have been experimenting with
luring a name or address out of this person.  I added a message board, some
comment areas, stuff like that.  What I would really like to do is configure
Xitami to pop up a login screen just for that IP address.  Is there any way
to do that?

Jill

ps How did you know I played the cello?
