Exactly our setup. hmmm..... you mean to say the connection manages
to get established THEN disconnected... oh well. I'll try this and
see if it works. Thanks for the tip.
I think one of the things that bothers me the most is all the afpd
children that seem to be 'stuck'. I think there is a flaw in the code
somewhere. Seems to me that these children should time out and die
when their connection is no longer valid.
