-----------------------------------------------

The dang thing works!  Thanks to all who helped!
So looking at the above, is there anything I can adjust?  Anyhthing I
should change? How about the dumpdevice (what is this)?
This actually runs right along without any huge lag (except the boot
process) across my network.  I am quite impressed.
