Hi Pete,

        Is there any idea of what happens when multiple people try to access
the server?  Was wondering if there is something that says
"server busy" or something like that.  Maybe you could have it open another
port if the first is occupied...

PS
Is there a liink to the current Linux Neil?  ...not sure which is current.
