[ale] tftp

[Alfred Grahame Leach]

                           ((  BLUSH  ))

I wish there was a way to take back emails that have already been sent...

I just found out that the symptoms I described below are normal tftp 
operation.  So I've got it working as right as it can be!  Sorry to 
bother you all.
