thanks JB for this tip. we're going to enquire using these tools (tcpdump + strace -tt), but the situation at the client's institute (people coming back and forth) implies that it will take some time. I'll report a little bit later to the list about this issue. thanks again, Tom -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
