Hi Prem,

Nice to hear from you - you guys are assets. 

My boss sent you that packet dump, so I am not sure, but here's one I 
just did.  I turned on debugging then tried to "save the running config 
to startup config" via the web interface:

If this is against protocol I don't have a problem doing this the 
"normal" way - it's just that students starting coming back any minute 
(literally) and if we can't get this up and running we have to move back 
to in-line.  No one wants to do that!  I also think these types of 
conversations are useful for the other list members.
