Looks interesting,  but dated.  He's talking about /etc/modules.conf which on 
this box is empty except for some comments.  There's an awful lot of stuff 
though in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules,  but the one he's talking about there doesn't 
seem to be present.

Yup.  Can you point me toward any further specifics?  I can ssh to that box,  
edit as necessary,  and restart the function,  no problem...
