I am talking Windows.

I manage multiple mail, s/ftp, im, firewall, and other servers spread 
out all over the World on a variety of OSes.  Most of these are able to 
send messages to a central syslog server.

There's also an IDS system sending syslog alerts.

Currently, Synchronet's logs are bundled up by some scripts that forward 
them to syslog.  I would like to remove the delay this introduces to 
that to, for instance, update my firewall against hack attempts.
