You could be a nice guy and send me a tarball : )
I put out a few J2EE apps and the first one the company paid around
$50,000 to have some external company to test it and give them a nice
excel sheet with some purdy graphs.  This time the company said they
would do it for only $30,000.  So I am trying to save much cash here by
using tclwebtest.  I tried  a few others, though most were not as
configurable/scriptable to get past Netegrity.

It is sad.  Unfortunately the firewall is controlled by MS Admins here
and not the Solaris/Linux admins : (
They allow in telnet and not ssh!  I think they block CVS just because
they don't really know about it and have everything blocked by default
and only open up ports as needed, I think they only understand source
safe.  This is a fortune 500 company by the way.  I would love to get a
hold of that firewall and fix it up, though as a programmer, that is not
one of my job functions.  I still don't understand why in the world they
let telnet through the firewall and not ssh.

P.S.  I noticed at the top of emails from this list it states:
Please consider using an e-mail program other than Outlook.It's insecure
Is this sent to everyone of just me?  I am using Evolution with Ximian
connector to connect to our horrid exchange 2002 server.
