On one machine, yes, but using 'Events' killed it, but as we were having
issues with other TCP/IP based 'servers', we just upgraded to XPPro/W2K and
had no issues (other than the misterious 10 sec disconnect on XP)

I think that should be it (I zaped XP and installed Linux on my Laptop, so
can't be sure). The best way of checking is to do a port scan from another
machine.
