I have not yet tried it.  I was hoping to hear that some talented person here 
had already gotten it working.  Fortunately, I have some breathing room for 
this as the church has a functioning server that this is intended to replace.  
I just started back in school this semester today, so time is limited but I 
will give it a try time permitting of course.
