maciej, annette:

thanks for your input. after looking back at the prior discussion, i should 
have never ask the question, it appears.  8<{) i really don't want a bunch of 
open connections hanging around.  nor do i relish recompiling the kernel, as 
it has been impossible for me to recompile a kernel that would correctly do a 
power down as the precompiled kernel does.

When we jumped into Sicily, the units became separated, and I couldn't find
anyone.  Eventually I stumbled across two colonels, a major, three captains,
two lieutenants, and one rifleman, and we secured the bridge.  Never in the
history of war have so few been led by so many.
