Hi Karl, 
Thanks for your, somewhat disappointing, effort and feedback !
What can I do and learn from your own data and setup ??

As a newbie I provide my data and specifications to find help 
according to my environment and problems and had appreciated 
very much a cookbock how I can / could do feeling secure !! ;-)

Myself I know how i want it done ...
... I also know what has to be done ...
... but currently I am "alone" here and unable HOW to do properly and
secure !!!

Cheers, svobi
