hmmm, thanks for the info. the session thing doesn't bother me much I
guess. Especially now since you say it doesn't work as expected.
Have to try the ethernet thing. I guess I could set up a 'Location' in
MAC OS for MOL so that it uses a different name and IP...I am just
using the generic IP (ie: 192.168.1.0)...hmmm.
Thanks
