Yep.  See the next post.

Hopefully you or someone else can fill in the blanks I left unfilled.

Noted in the other post; it is ca33 followed by s and another ca33.  The
520 was 02 and 08.  Why 02 instead of 01?  Darned if I know.

I'll try with the OSAX at some point.  But doing it all in raw Apple events
in MacPerl, you shouldn't have this problem, since you would execute the
login first, and then the next event to talk to the port.

Thanks for doing all your work on this, it is something I've wanted for a
long time.  It is working now but I want to get the last questions
answered, and then we will be set!
