Worse still, I have this haunting feeling that I've "fixed" something else with that, some time ago, but somehow my monitors got flopped about at another point down the road. <groan> -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org

What constitutes a "RAIL > server" -- any old RDP host? I don't know if it's any of them, but something like MED-V also uses it, and probably other things.
