Maybe I was just stupid but I did not really try. - dante-client is _really_ slow. It needs up to two seconds for a connect. This could be the sock servers fault too but perhaps it isn't. So if it is easier to configure or faster it is worth packaging IMHO. yours, peter -- PGP signed and encrypted | .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** messages preferred. | : :' : By professionals, | `. `' for professionals http://www.palfrader.org/ | `- http://www.debian.org/
