[Coco] Re: 8" drive to 5.25" replacement?

Hey thanks for the response, the router nat idea is something I need to look
into. I'm using a NetGear 311 router. It's old by today's standards, but
for me at least, it's a goodie. I'll look at your response in more depth to
see what else I can gleem from it and if we want to converse further we'll
take this to the Amithlon list and off this one.
