It's been so long since I've fiddled with any of this stuff I have no
recollection at this point in time as to what protocols are included in the
setup, which I might need to have available as "external", and so forth.
What difference would the order make? Are some of these to be preferred over
others? It's been a *long* time since I've seen any discussion of this sort of
thing. <g>

Almost pasted the wrong call in there, the other one being from the other
person who started this thread, Paul Williams.
Wow, 396% efficient! I like those numbers... :-)
