Hi, back!  ;-)

1. I was under the impression that Ed was making progress on this
   problem.

2. Solder-slinging is "plan B" for me--I try software first.  (Not
   that it would do much good in this case. ;-)

3. I'm sure there are others with a clear picture of the problem,
   and possible solutions.

4. If *I* stop working on the AppleCrate, then *no one* will be
   working on it.  ;-(

I'm coming to the conclusion that no one else is very interested in
networking machines for experimental purposes.  All the interest is
apparently in file sharing and web connectivity, which I find
uninteresting and take completely for granted, like air.
