Thanks to all who responded.  I use Samba 2.0.7 to move files between my PC
and the e3000 to avoid being bitten by the bytestream bug.

I'm converting Word, Excel, and .tif files to pdf and have experimented
with the pdf production procedure.  Although all the pdfs open from my
e3000's Samba share, only some serve properly from Apache/iX.  If anyone is
making pdfs and serving them with Apache/iX, would you mind sharing your
procedure as well as versions of software?
