Damn! Blew it again. The whole month has been like that. Well, we still have a day and a half to fix it. But I had hoped to get a bit of sleep. Ah well. Thanks for catching the bug.
BTW, thanks for saying 'help'. The folk here are a sharp, pretty organized, and hard working lot, and had layed years of groundwork. While a few days of a UNIX and router geek can help accellerate the process, IMIHO parachute jobs and heros don't stick. There are a lot of wasted silver bullets in these countries.
And, BTW, while am doing these jobs, I have amazing support from folk on the net who bail me out of panics by making fixes ftpable, advising on what are to me (a BSDoid) strange flavors of almost-UNIX and <shudder> DOS, even sending the occasional bits of hardware in diplomatic pouches.
We stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before.
