Hi! Nick,

1. An overriding RAM restriction: 4Gb per host.  2.  Win98se needs only 128Mb RAM, and the older Puppy systems only need 256-512Mb/per.  3. No income, as all of my wealth is tied up in assets.

.....outlook and scale...

Excuse me?  I've never run iRex for anything.  I confused you.  Sorry.

I was running Radius for a downlink using iRex/W32 who will not reset to port 24555, to catch my backup system after the primary node imploded in the vBox update on 17 August.

Radius TRAP-ped on my web-tools server Win98se vBox, so I'm now running two binkD servers on both ports, 24554 & 24555.  Only one is nodelisted.  (The second binkD was always running as a LAN 'Stargate' IAC.)  Both are publically available though only the nodelisted one will serve *all* current links.

Yes.

Yes.  :(

Cheers,
Paul.
