Hi Max

Actually the last two versions have  totally supported the SocketAppender.
In fact we also created a standalone console to work with the
SocketAppender or for opening log files from a URL or file system.  There
are a few examples in the standard download that show how this works.  Feel
free to download a newer version to see all of the new enhancements.

Hello BMarlborough,

This sounds great!! I know Chainsaw recently was chosen as the
"official" log4j gui, but LogFactor is way more mature and has many
more features which Chainsaw only has begun considering to do.

The "only" problem I can see is that last time I checked LogFactor5
one should use a custom LogFactor-appender. This might be necessary,
but it would be great if it also "just" could be used with a standard
SocketAppender - but I would guess that would be a "simple" addition :)
