   Ah, yes.. On a third attempt, I got temporarily distracted away from the     
   pc, and by the time I got back (over 2 minutes) I noticed that the freq     
   completed.  As per your session above, I didn't realize it could take     
   longer than a minute to complete.

   Nearly 5 minutes seemed long enough if it could work!

   Poo.  :(   I guess this ought to be an honourable mention in the CONS     
   list?   
      
   Is there is any way to find out in advance who uses mbcico?
