Thankyou very much Ed. I'll go away for now and digest the verbose output of that test.

I like this place already, hopefully I'll be back with some more mature enquiries once I get my all the necessary modules installed and my code (chat server) is underway, I'm just waiting for my login details to come back too whereafter my login handle should be 'Prisoner 9'

Thanks again for your prompt and very helpful resonse

Andy
