yup raspios, buster. I'd have moved on but the bullseye python is too 
new and linuxcnc can't use it.  The lcnc guys are busy making it work 
for bookworm and haven't had time to backport for bullseye. I have a 
couple SSD's plugged into the usb3 ports on the pi4b and have the 
complete lcnc buildbot available. My whole system is behind an old 
buffalo router running dd-wrt, so I'm well insulated from the black hats.

humm, you can elaborate on that? There are several different sets there 
and I must have followed the wrong set.

Thanks Jim.
