Hi John, Thanks for the quick response. I tried accessing the feed with lynx to no avail. Its been quite awhile since I worked w/ lynx. I'll take a quick look at wget as well and see if its deployed here and usable. Can you spare a few moments to send an example of your "quick and dirty" method? Feel free to do this on- or off-list if you have the time.
