I think your services, are great, and they do the job well, I don't think u
should, start, removing options from them, as a lot of people, don't like
changes in services. I get a few people from Undernet, joing my network, and
they use the access, list like they use it on Undernet, they still add
people with 500 access, and works ok for them. if the access list is not
there all of a sudden, they r going to get very mixed up.


many thanks
Joe

I think that would be a very bad idea.  For one, the interface for users
should not severely change between 4.x and 5.x, or else we will have to
retrain the monkeys that barely are able to use Services the way they are
now.  Also, there are people who use the access list feature.  I know of
several people on my network that use it, and they would be very upset if
it disappeared.  I would either have to not upgrade, or patch it back in
myself if it were to be removed.
