Love that Green Dragon! ;)

Fantastic! Makes sense that you're using another program outside D'Bridge to
do the heavy work.

That's a good way to have the tosser find what it needs to do.

Calling *.UFM after polling...then *.RSN for outgoing packets. Very nice.

Am so happy you spelled this out...since you might find it by digging...but
stating it plainly saves a ton of time.

Thank you again for all your help. Gotta a 5:30 AM workday tomorrow...but am
off at 10:30 AM to head back at 7 PM Friday evening...so should have time to
get this set up.
