I don't know,  there were some odd bits in the install process back then,  but 
that was a while ago and I'm a little fuzzy now as to just what it was, 
unless I dig into my notes...

And I didn't touch anything this time around relating to the MPTS stuff, 
except for adding that protocol.  Put it on "adapter number 1",  too,  rather
than "0" which is where the software initially stuck it.  I don't remember why 
this was important,  only that it had come up somewhere in these discussions
in the past.

Now I need to get the necessary shares set up on the Linux box and get going
with this,  but I think I probably won't have too much trouble with that, 
since I've got some working ones in there now.
