Indeed. Sorry for not mentioning it before.

Ok. I already started monitoring that one too.

I can't. This system runs along with telephony hardware.
There is no way I can simulate 70 connections in our lab.

The server in question is our customer's.
It'll take ages for me to convince them to stuff
more memory into it. Believe me, I've tried. :)
As I can't just turn the system off, I'll try
installing Classic next time it crashes and see
what happens. I'll post the results, of course.

Thanks Daniel,
