Hello Tommi,

I can only report what I find. When a second client is started the running
server/client crashes about half the time. Maybe this is soemting particular
for the Windows version.

Duing my travels in Ireland, I met this guy named Murphy. He taught me the
difference between "should" and "is".  ;-)

 TK> It is also possible to make a poll with "binkd -nP zone:net/node

That does not work when the runnng task is already running. I start my binkd
automaticaly at system startup. That way it will restart automatically after a
system reboot after an automatic update.


Cheers, Michiel
