   What keyboard do you have?  The PSK server only (currently) supports the
   North American keyboard (the one with Alt keys on either side of the
   space bar).

Aaargh!!  So THAT explains why our local HP contacts deny even the
EXISTENCE of the PSK server!?  Why did support for other keyboards
have to be dropped?  It's in the MIT server, right?  Now if I could
only get the latter to work reliably ...  But when I asked here about
it, the response I got was "why don't you use the PSK server?"  Seemed
like a good idea, but now I guess it's back to trying to understand
why the MIT server is having problems.
