All I need to add was the virtual table.

I'm a happy camper!!  Started Friday night... read a bunch of the docs 
and a bunch of tutorials and here we are.... I still have tons of 
question....

I need to stop and take it all in and pull it all together...

This is a first for me.  Both Bind and mail held me back for a long time 
from running a server.
