Am I miss remebering or didn't we solve a similiar problem
earlier in the release cycle?   Perhaps that was with non
GOP console only.

Either way, we need to make sure this is resolved.  Sad state is
I do not have any access until after the holiday most likely to
any hardware that I can use to work on this problem.

Please keep me in the loop though, I am reading emails each morning,
and as times allow during the day.

Thanks,
