        That is axactly my problem.  This is a tiny 4watt kit type
        deal, all solid state with with memory that requires some
        special kind of burner.  [I have the latest pfSense tarball 
        and my .xml restore/update file.  ... so, software side, i'm
        all set.]

        I  _may_ have found somebody in the metro area who "may" find 
        the time.  He says it's not a matter of $$$, but I'll stuff it 
        in his shoes if i have to.   If this guy doesn't come thru, then 
        it is back to the pfsense forum.
