[Rsiena-help] siena07 and network connections

[Nate Doogan]

One additional piece of information, I'm using R 2.13.1. When I try this on
2.14.1, a whole different problem keeps me from running the analyses at all
(i.e. even with only a single processor). I'm not bothering with that for
now, though.
