I have no problem doing that, just not sure that everyone would
appreciate the spew.  I like it for exactly the same reason,
troubleshooting remote systems. =20

What I'd really like to do is revamp the debug code so that it=20
can be enabled/disabled on the fly rather than requiring that=20
the driver be compiled.  Adding some performance stuff would=20
be awesome as well.
