I'll second that.  I would still be twiddling my thumbs over here waiting
for LSoft support to get back to me on this.

Thanks again.

Just remember that when some of us started, it was a lot uglier (%-hacks,
anybody?), and there wasn't a wealth of experience you could draw on if
things went horridly wrong... ;)

At least in our old age, the questions are *easy* - unlike (say) the FDDI
interface at JVNC that had a bitpattern-dependent timing problem tickled
by Bitnet traffic that hosed up the NSFNet-Bitnet gateway one summer, or
the bitnet-uucp gateway that I had that kept wedging up because the bisync
interface on the Gould PN/9080 didn't implement transparency the way an
IBM interface did (it would escape an ASCII SYN char (not to be confused
with a TCP SYN packet), but not an EBCDIC one, but not consistently).

Enough rambling, time to go back to writing a scope document and listening
to some Judas Priest cranked up high enough to drown out the distractions.
