	Until I read this I assumed that swap was confined to one
	drive.  Good to know that Unix  (or just BSD?) is so flexible.

	Adding more swap is on my list for the new drive.  (Um, also,
	I've just learned something new for my sysadmin bag of tricks.)

	(I have another modem-type question, but that'll wait until 
	I've replaced|rebuilt /usr.)
