Yea - Cut & Paste error on part of the operator [me] - elsewhere in
your post you mentioned "insomnia"... I wrote that around 1 a.m.
after a hard day of lifting & climbing stairs (moving)... I hate

Cool! That ought to give me enough to step up to the plate - if I get
it working, I'll put up a page about it & link it to the tivo page...
I'll download the stuff today (I *love* owning an ISP... "Big
