Vern,

what I am saying - use your network, I have occasional Kevin Turner on
"my" 515 server to test his installation procedures for Rainessance on a non

CCSid mashine. Unfortunately this machine will also have payroll production
data on it in a month, so it would not be available for such tests anymore
:-(

So the spirit is there, the possiblities is just now becomming limited due
to
security and client privacy.
