Thanks for the NFS tip Dan - i didn't realize that. I downloaded Omni, but
I couldn't get it to help me.
I ended upo resorting to an FTP install from a remote site. Not the fastest
thing in the world, but it seems to be working. Actually, as it turns out,
I just needed the FTP host name - not the IP address.
Thanks for the help!
