In the past I've tried following the instructions, used to be on the |
| 28 |
Gentoo site somewhere, and I've never got it to work. I literally copy |
| 29 |
and pasted the info and it has never sent the missing messages or a |
| 30 |
error message. If you do get it to work, I'd love to know how you did it. |

If I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath getting this to work. Unless |
| 33 |
something has changed since I tried it, it is a lost cause. |
