Glad that solved your problem Dave. And very glad the NVRAM didn't get you. I 
wonder if Duc was wearing khakis when you called him?  Like Jake in the State 
Farm commercial;<)   Scott gave you some good advice but it is hard to give up 
on AW's that were so stable. Alas, your hand is being forced by both Foxboro 
and Sun. 
Cheers,
Tom
