Mr. Tittsler,

Thank you for the invitation, I will try to attend.  I'm thinking that
within the RedHat netcfg, not only can you have it send whatever you
type in, but I'm wondering if you can indicate a file to use for
connection?  Either way, thanks.  I will give it a try.  I'll let you
know what happens.
