Supposedly, there is a registry setting that has something to do with
"shared listener" or something like that. Instead of spawning new processes
(on different ports) this setting is _supposed_ to keep everything on the
listener port (usually 1521). The Oracle guys and I were looking into this
same problem at a client site just last week. They found some information
off Oracle's support site. If I come up with more info from them, I'll let
you know. (I know this is sketchy info, but Hey! You said _Any Info_ ;-)
