Yes you can. I'm a developer of Grid based software systems so I know what you can and can't do, and this is one I use happily all the time. I'm not trying to talk to the system, merely check that it's behaving. A service should not immediately close the port when it gets no data, that's a bad sign. jh -- "It is the final proof of God's omnipotence that he need not exist in order to save us." -- Peter De Vries
