Thanks Douglas for the info.  I went out early to the list for FC3T2 and 
looked through some of the e-mails that were out there, and I think I 
will take your advise and just hold off.  This server is really not that 
critical.  I use this at home, but I guess my kids would think that it 
was critical, especially if they lost their connection to the net. haha!!!

Thanks again!!
