Rick,
    I owe you feedback on this one of these days soon. However, I ran 
into a problem with the 802.11 network conflicting with a cordless phone 
everyone in the house seems to use. Only today did I manage to get a 
replacement for the phone so hopefully I can get the network turned back 
on and get this working.

    I didn't want you to think that I don't appreciate all your help. I 
do very much - just going slow...

Thanks,
Mark
