Okay guys, we're there at last... It works!  Specifically OpenPnP 
coexists with LinuxCNC on the same machine.

Now the not-so-great news... I do not like the latency.  At first I 
thought I can live with the lower speed, but stepconf only lets me set 
the latency to 50000ns, when I'm seeing test values over 1,xxx,xxx ns, 
and that's causing jerky/intermittent motion.  I'm not sure if I can 
manually change it in the config files... can I?  The lower speed would 
be fine for now, as long as it's not jerky.

Another thought would be to try installing RTAI.  I see some info on 
doing it on 12.04, so I may try that... <cringe!>

Much thanks for all the help guys!

Cheers,
-Neil.
