Thanks Jon, unfortunately that's not it.  I walked thru = I do NOT 
have a Reply with Away message anyway set up.  I had checked that 
before.  And I do not have Airport turned on in my Cube thus there is 
nothing to be sending wireless...it's odd...there's no selection 
method under Network Prefs or any others that i can think of.  I'll 
keep hunting.
