When playing with this one, I learned that there is a LOT more to I.C. Net Software-Filters Unlimited 2.0 as this tut required a BKG filter that wasn't part of 2.0. I have a half hour search finding and loading those into 2.0 and it worked great once I found it. I'm glad I tried the tut, it taught me something I hadn't experienced.
