Paul,
Off subject, yet some friendly advice.
If you ever do want to upgrade your PM2s, do not do what I did. I acquired
a PM2 with v3.3.3 and assumed it had 4meg of dram. It didn't (1meg). When
the upgrade to v3.9b26 ultimately failed, the flash was messed up and I had
to go through the netboot process to get the flash back.

Check your memory first. If needed, install the (4) 1meg 30pin SIMMs first
before upgrading.

Fram_PM2e> sho mem
System memory 4194304 bytes - 1124616 used, 3069688 available
2048:1 16:2 48:2
System nbufs 1400 - 50 used, 1350 available

I have seven (7) PM2s running stable with v3.9b26 and the new NAT feature is
very handy.
