card types. |

I have looked at this now, and will tinker more with it later, but on a |
| 48 |
different machine. One that does not have to grind away for several |
| 49 |
hours before telling me that it failed. :-) The machine in question is |
| 50 |
mostly used as a gateway and a little bit of development, so I am just |
| 51 |
removing X from it until I can learn more. |
