that's what I get on both of them.  Obviously the numbers are slightly 
different but that's what looks like.  I think the problem is further 
downstream because my impression is the scrubbing free RAM step is only 
a hop or two away from loading Linux kernel.  And that loading process I 
suspect is what's going astray either through a bad reference to where 
the kernel is or something of that nature.
in the meantime, I will start hunting up a null modem cable and use one 
of my laptops for a remote console.

The result of the duopoly that currently defines "competition" is that
prices and service suck. We're the world's leader in Internet
technology - except that we're not.
