Hmm.  I don't think my hosts allow SLIP anymore, but I'll give it a 
shot.  BTW is there info somewhere on setting up the SLIP connection?  
Doesn't seem to cover that in the install text.

Bad news.  I guess that option's out.  Maybe someone can make a 
rawwrite-type command which will write directly to the HD partition.  
What is dcp?

Thanks for all your help.  I hope I will be successful.  I never thought 
I would be foiled by clock circuitry! :(
