Dear Tom,

I want to get into the CMOS in order to set up a password for my client, at
his request.

If I cannot get into the CMOS, then I will try to find a software password
utility that will work on a 386 machine (if such a thing exists). A software
password is unquestionably much less preferred by my client.
