Ok...  This proved to be a BIT more complicated than expect :-( but it
looks like I'm good to go.  The DNS hosting is at Hurricane Electric.
 I had to revert back to an earlier instantiation of FireFox to find
the account and password, which took some time, but I have an I'm in
and those credentials are saved in two places.  :-P

Just tell me what you need changed.

Mike
