I felt it had been mention enough already that repeating it would be
rude.

Yes, they do not block X-server packets. In fact he showed me his
Exceed that was connected to his machine in Knotsville, TN

If they imply a detail such as .Xclients on a winNT machine then
apparently they misread everything anyway. So it probally would not
have made a diference. However, that was still very good info to know
and I appreciate the good info.

p.s. bellsouth.net does not relay mail from my work place. So I had to
send this via my own SMTP. Therefore your mail server kept boucing it
back. So I had to send it to the list. Thus, I will not be replying to
any mail sent me personnally. Nothing persnal (it is a bandwidth
thing). X-WinPro Still Broke !!
