[daip] VLANT problems

[Robert J. Harris]

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the reply.

Between my e-mail to you and your reply, I upgraded to 31Dec09, and I get
the same problem.  Also, I checked in the directory, and the files that
you attached were already there (I ran a diff on them to make sure, also.
No differences.)

I am running OSX 10.5.4.

I'll make sure I'm current on the 09 version, but since I downloaded and
installed  it ~ 1 hour ago, I'm not sure that it will help.

Thanks,
Robert
