I've got that and I've tested it (twice), so I know it works.

I've got one of those too; I used it for the above test.

Aha! That's definitely a workaround, but it sounds like it should work.

The proper card? Which one would that be? I've been told that my  
TDM410 should work, but as I've said before, no luck so far. I'm  
starting to believe that it may involve a magical combination of  
settings along with chicken blood, frog entrails and some sort of  
dance (a solution more familiar to Windows admins).

Tired of wasting time, I suspect this will be the quickest way out for  
me as well.

I just added myself to the new list.
