Chris, I built the current (beginning) config from the latest PNCCONF you sent me - I think that is the 2.5 version. With help from the iRC (thanks, skunkworks) and a friend I was able to get past an estop problem at the end of today, so now I will be looking at the rest of the config. It may be a good starting point, I just don't know yet so I was hoping to be able to see some working configs. Thanks, -Tom
