Doug] Sounds like what you want would be a multicast solution. Sounds

Doug] You'll forgive me if I don't volunteer. ;)
Thanks for responding. I agree that multicast would be best/great....
However, I'd settle for multiple point-to-point sessions, in a
hub(server) spokes type setup.
Do you, or others, know if it's possible to have a tkined server serve
more than 1 client at a time?
