        Ok, with this I was able to set up a working NFS, which then
        lead me to believe that what I have is working also, a matter of
        establishing confidence! Box7 is able to see files on server
        box8, very encouraging.

        Thanks much for the help. I'm going to have to quit this effort
        for a few hours, have other stuff to attend to but your help and
        zxq9 are much appreciated. I will go from there and let you know
        if I have more questions.

        Bob
