   Lets' be an idiot by trying to revivie my 20 year old Squeezebox network music player by running a 14-year old compiled .exe of a Perl script in a terminal window in a Windows 10 virtual running on my OS/x Macbook. Y

   Ya, let me subject myself to this idiocy. I swear, I never learn.

   (I lost the remote. Can't configure it to connect to the network. This is supposed to be a path)

     @EricCarroll I'm trying this:

     Do you have a remote? A spare remote I could borrow? I just need to get it back to connect to Ethernet. It has a great little Web interface. Are you anywhere near Guelph?

     (Eric and I are not related. We do know each other from 1994 though when he architected the architecture for the Rogers ISP cable modem network that lives on to this day)

     @EricCarroll I did it!

     Back to life after 14 years, without the remote.

     @EricCarroll I searched for that ... couldn't find anything ... but this UDAP tool works pretty well.

     @jimcarroll I wish I did I am down to my last one. I have been thinking about getting a universal remote to program & load it.

     I bet its codes are available in a db somewhere...
