Thanks I would appreciate that.  I intended in getting involved when
they were first trying to setup LPI, but never followed up on it.  I was
on the certification development committee of SAGE (Usenix) so I have
had some experience with what it takes to develop a certification
program, though not with running an on-going program.

I have explored the distance learning quite a bit as I thought it would
be good supplement to my consulting to offer training over the internet,
so I might be able to help you with it if you would like.  

If you want to talk about it more my ph is 817-528-3822 and you have my
email.  

Thanks again,

Tom
