DO'H!
Sorry. I've been fairly overwhelmed w/$DAYJOB so *clearly* glossed over
that (important) section.
Thank you for taking the time to use your "clue bat" on me. :-)
Yes. That's *exactly* why the error(s) are occurring.
The only question I have at this juncture; is *why* after some ~5yrs
later is it *now* throwing an error?
Oh well. In any case, I can easily resolve the problem and set things
straight with these ports.
Thanks again! :-)
