I'm not much of a network quru, but I've found that "netcat" is very helpful when setting up this kind of stuff. It's the swiss-army-knife of network tools. Very easy way to test network connectivity. I use it all the time to send formatted postscript to a jet-direct HP printer, since I'm too lazy to configure a print spooler <grin>. Google for "netcat" or check freshmeat. Regards, John
