Probing update.

["Dean L. Hedin" <dhedin2001-at-home.com>]

I have made some progress with the  standalone "probe engine"
code.  I've successfully sent the "home axis zero" command from my
own "C" program.

Yea, I know, it does'nt sound like much at this point but it is actually a 
good sign.  I can now send any of the NML commands from a "C"
program.  I have revised the probe file spec a little and will start coding it
tommorrow evening. 

One hold up was that fact that EMC will not build without error on a BDI 
developer's install.  When you do:

 make PLAT=rtlinux_3_0 

It complains that it can not find rtlnml.h  There is no include directory
under platform/rtlinux_3_0.  I ended up manually creating this dir and
copied the relevent files over from linux_2_2_18

I was also side-tracked by  some issues with my setup to his past week-
end. I can't seem to get my shop box to see my linux firewall.  eth0 device 
loads just fine.  It just can't get a DHCP IP.  If I try to set up a fixed IP 
and then try to ping another machine all I get is "network unreachable".
Connections are all good.  Several different ethernet cards were tried.
I think something is missing with regard to networking in the BDI install.

Anyone else with similiar experience (and maybe a solution?)
