Hi Paul,

Useful tips - I guess I haven't explored the RDP options much - probably
got
the redirects on by default, not sure that there is a non-console option on
the XP Pro server version.

I get a problem when Cortex restarted (whether automatic or manual), access
violation and left in a funny mode where it had to be killed off using task
manager. I'm running it on XP Pro, so have to see whether that makes a
difference. I had the same problem when I used XP RDP client to access it,
so I don't think it is the Mac client.

I will explore further ...

Cheers

David
