This is very interesting. We are using the PPC-100. It comes with a number of
Ethernet utilities. The most interesting is PG8019.EXE. Does this ring any
bells?

It was a good few months since I tried this and I currently don't have a
PPC-100. It is currently out on trial. If it is accepted, there will be another
20 or so. In the meantime if you can remember exactly what you did it would be
appreciated.

Thanks for your help.
