Hi Bill,

OK.

It would be good to upgrade, but there are potential pitfalls
as you can well imagine.

>free to see what you can.

I tried to SSH to your machine, but I am not allowed:

/home/mcidas% ssh address@hidden
ssh: connect to host cumulus.MissouriState.edu port 22: Connection refused

Please let me know if you can open access through your firewall for
me.  I need be, you can limit machines coming from the unidata.ucar.edu
domain (128.117.140.*).  If this is not narrow enough, please
make sure that my work machine can get in: 128.117.140.86.

If/when I get in, do you want me to do/attempt a McIDAS v2005 installation?

>As always, thanks.

No worries. 

Cheers,

Tom
