That did help.  Thanks.

And if I had more carefully read the FAQ instead of just the INSTALL I would have known this!

I needed to edit conserver.rc because ps on macosx doesn't support -f.

The FAQ also helps partially with my next question

How do I tell what the appropriate name is of my conserver host?

Or where should the alias be added and what should it look like?

Thanks again!
