Sigh... got the boot problem fixed but on that test machine I *finally*
just yesterday had managed to get the no name PCI modem to break
dialtone (for fax)... however the updates that I downloaded this morning
fixed that -- now it can't even find the modem.  Even backed down 2
kernels. Only machine that I've *ever* managed to break dialtone & dial
-- but that's another story & one that I'll leave for some other time.
Yes, I know; buy a serial modem :-( In the interim I just keep a Windows
machine fired up & connected for faxes.

Thanks again for the help.
