Dave,

I'd like this note to serve to purposes.  First, the mutex code I added
the other day had
a problem with it, but I believe it's fixed now.  The mutex should not
have been named.
Second, I realized that the location of this stuff had not been sent to
the mailing list.

You can find the NET.DLL source and doc at http://noc.kpnw.org/~scott

It's pretty rough, but it does seem to work.  I'd like to hear from
anyone that actually
uses any of this stuff.

Thanks
