Running servers and client applications at the same time is _never_ a good idea, no matter what OS or hardware you are on. Not only does doing so impact memory (due to fragmentation, VM use, etc.) and hard drive speed (loading apps, opening/saving docs, VM usage, etc) but Applications in general (as opposed to server software in general) is bug prone and tend to have memory leaks, memory overwrites and other system/application instability issues. on Sun, Sep 28, 2003 LuKreme may have said: >It sounds like OS <X to me, and I would say that OS 8-9 is not suited >to be a server running a lot of services.

I have run OS 8.6 and 9.2 with dns, email, mailing list, web, ftp, contact, collaboration, and other services all running together with uptimes of 6+ months. That said, NetPresenz was not one of the programs I could rely on with any other server running on the same machine. NOTE: if you are running 9.1 (I saw that after I put out this reply), you need to update to 9.2, 9.1 had a lot of issues, including the tendency to go deaf. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Lane Roathe, President Ideas From the Deep <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.ifd.com> _______________________________________________________________________ Life is cheap, but the accessories will break you. ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
