Alrightie.  I got one machine semi-upgraded (thanks, Vern, the Client Access
Options did the trick!).  Why "semi", you ask?  Well, because evidently when
I installed the poor beast, I said "Sure, go ahead, install operations
console" even though I had no intention on using it.  I mean, never say
never, right?

Well, now the machine wanted me to run EZ-Setup.  Perhaps I don't need this
step because I'm upgrading, not doing an initial install, but I tried it
anyway (and please, if I'm NOT supposed to do this, please tell me, because
I have one more workstation to trash.... er, I mean upgrade).

Anyway, it asked some questions about my primary machine, which I answered,
and then it said it couldn't find a proper cable on COM1 (which makes
perfect sense, since that's plugged into my good old 56K backup modem).  I
hit "Cancel", and poof the entire setup ends.  And not only that, now if I
try to run EZ-Setup again, it asks if I want to talk to my server or another
one.  If I specify the current server, it immediately goes to the Ops
Console error.

What should I do, you think?  Uninstall the Ops Console option (and if so,
how)?  Skip the EZ-Setup altogether?  I hate to do that, because EZ-Setup
has a last step that you're supposed to run after everything else has been
set up.  I don't know, I'm so confused.
