Hi Roger, and thanks for the reply.

After I shut the system down to plug it back into the UPS, and booted it back
up, everything is fine. I have rebooted several times during my trouble-shooting
and that had not resolved anything at all. I have no explanation because I can
not believe that the problem was caused all along by the lack of an electrical
connection between the systems.

I hate things like this. I spend several hours trying to figure this out, to no
avail. I send an email to a help list, only to have my problem inexplicably
resolve itself moments after hitting send. My apologies to the list for the
noise.

Regards,
Melvin
