I am planning on writing a description of how this all is being setup. Not only for the rest of the world, but also for myself in case I ever have to do it again. The only problem I have right now is the time crunch I am under. I feel like I have let a couple of friends down already the last couple of weeks (sorry Matt) and it ain't over yet. I do have *notes* on how I set everything up though and I will, as soon as time allows me, put it all in a HOW-TO manual. Don't worry, be Kneppie!
