1.  I was asking what the error message was that you were getting.

2. No, I didn't read the entire thread.  I had only a very brief
opportunity to catch up on e-mail (while I was at Camp Grayling)
at the time that I replied.

I'm home now on a 2-day pass before going next to Camp Shelby, MS.
I expect opportunities for internet communications to decline rapidly.
