I understand that, Jordan.  I was hoping to get it fixed, but couldn't
get the combo's THAT I HAD AVAILABLE to work. 

I wasn't implying that it was a S/W problem, just an interaction of 
hardware.  I would have loved to get it working, BUT, ran out of patience. 

the system now has a P-III 600E in it, and runs flawlessly (little
slower on SETI units, but...).
