Thanks for posting all that good info Lynn...  Your memory is obviously much better than mine 'cuz you can keep all this info straight!  Thanks for that and previous messages clarifying the details.

Figured I'd post a note in this thread too:  We have a problem with the WXSVR at the moment.  The box it runs on appears to be having a SATA driver issue.  My Firenet scripts are still running ok, but the WXSVR script puts too much of a disk load on the server, causing the site to go down.  I've disabled it at the moment until the problem gets resolved.  I'll try to get it running on a couple of alternate sites as soon as I can (probably after Field Day).  It's possible I might find some free time during Field Day to work on it, but don't count on it.  We'll probably be understaffed this year so I expect to be on the key/mike a lot.
