Re: Setting up TCPIP on new i5

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Vernon,
Yes it was sndptford, and it was actually doing the download for at least 1 
hour, clicking off the % complete. Doing it this way allows me to start & 
walk away. When download complete (and it has completed before within the 
hour), just opt 8 on ptf menu and done. Your right about more options in FC, 
but it is more steps, more "clicking".
