Thanks for the input Jose. I wish I "could" get to the CMOS settings. It
is no matter in your example because I never use any APM features. I
never trust them to wake up and can never get the interval to correspond
to my needs. That why PC's come with power switches ;-) I have cleared (
I think ) the CMOS with the board jumper so any funny stuff that may
have been in CMOS should be back to defaults. I'll try jumping the power
on switch tomorrow. If you see a bright light in the night it's me
frying either the board or myself.
