Thanks for your pointers.  Almost time to quit for holiday 
(Shavous),  so this will be resumed monday.

I think I see how to proceed.  I have two A at H systems, replace one 
wiht Trixbox and see what if haves, if not shotgun everything I need 
onto other box,  move the files over and make install....

And figure out the necessary symbolic links.  Gee I have not done any 
of that since working on Suns 12+ years ago.....
