Hello Mattew! Have you tried getting help on our mailing list, Vox-tech? (I ask because the above does not look like and emergency; LERT is for emergencies or when other avenues have failed.) You need to sign up for the mailing lists before you can post; you may sign up and read the archives at http://lugod.org/mailinglists/. If that does not work, let me know and I will see about getting someone to help you one-on-one. I have copies this message to Vox-tech. -- Henry House The attached file is a digital signature.
