I had a very liberal attitude about NT, until finding that it is putting one of our projects in jeopardy, because if it's lousy perf (under load.) Maybe with some brains and motivation behind it (like DEC), they'll make it work (as opposed to playing with itself :-).) Sorry for the pseudo-flame, but I am getting sicker and angry-er every day dealing with NT's (4.0) performance (a major component of quality IMO) problems. John
