Thanks Dave.  I'll give the website a go and I might take you up on
the questions.  First thing I have to learn is how to recover from a
disaster (misconfig)  once I get that down I'll have some room to
breathe. (I can do it now via the web interface -- but I want to learn
how to do it from the command line) The router is config'd for the cut
over so I'm not in a rush -- their support has been excellent so far
-- I just don't like the fact that I didn't do the config myself <g>
and had to rely on their support.  Well after I get providers cut
over, it will be time to do some reading.

Thanks again,

Jeff
