Thanks so much for the help. I think right now with 3.02.01 my DMODE line in
startup says something like DMODE /d0 DNS=1
or something like that. I'd have to look again tonight.

As for my SCII, I'm working out a trade with Mike, I hope, so the SCII can
be used by someone who would more appreciate its capabilites. :)
