	I appreciate the offer, James.  Last time, I had just gotten
	my link to the net (&c) set up.  The printer nightmare took
	at least a week of email and my tweaking the configuration.
	((Yes, there are differences between SVR4 ports... ))

	I'm in a new office here at home.  Need to get cabling 
	extensions or whatever.  Then bite the bullet.  

	gary
