Is there a way >to save the older data so it's available using these buttons ? Selecting yesterday or day-2 just tells it how far back to go. You still start off in the present. To get older data, select yesterday or day-2 and then select the MOS station you want. That will give you the latest data. Then use the "Previous" button to step back through the messages. >Also, I've been meaning to ask about this. Mclap doesn't automatically >mount to wxbox.mscd.edu:/var/data/ldm on bootup.

I can't read the /var/log/messages file to see what the error is because I don't have the root password on mclap (and most of the time mclap isn't on the net). I tried the ones for wxbox and winfo2, but they didn't work on mclap. Look through that file and see if there are any errors about mounting to wxbox. Also, see if the NFS mount is being tried before it says that the network is enabled. Don
