However, just because it's legal doesn't necessarily mean you want to use it: I have seen NT3.51 choke on this, and I would assume NT 4.0 would too. Not that this would be *your* fault that Bill want's to set his own frigging "standards", but since it will ultimately affect *your* global connectivity, you should prolly stay away from that one...
