Why broadcasting? Multicast is the way to go - has less overhead and more efficient since only the clients who actually want the cast will receive it. Broadcasting is like shouting at everyone in a room when you only want to attract the attention of a few. ...Steve 1. quod erat demonstrandum 2. "Give a man a fish and you've fed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you've fed him for life." I read that somewhere once :-)
