Thanks - unfortunately, that port is marked IGNORE for my version (4.9). Apparently I need 'ATAng', not sure if I can get that in the 4.x series... I suppose I could try moving to 5.2.x, but I was hoping to put that off a little longer - and I'd like to know my hardware is reliable first, really. -- David Fleck david.fleck@mchsi.com
