	This hasn't been fixed for us and we are taking quite a bit of heat
from users - needless to say.

	Hughes is working with us on this problem and I've also heard from a
representative as a result of the original posting. I've also heard from one
other person that is having a similar problem.

	We were also interested in the servers because of the Sytek Localnet
connections.

	Will post the conclusion.

By the way - what happens is: something happens that causes the server to crash
with a "task stack overflow" error, everyone on that server gets knocked off,
and the server reloads. It seems to happen on all of the servers, we havn't been
able to connect the crashes to any particular event. Hughes has provided us witha sniffer to assist in the detective work.
