This is one of the major strengths of KDE *vis a vis* GNOME at present -- objects on the Internet can be accessed just as if they were local. The application doesn't even need to be aware of the differences, as the library just deals with it. Of course, trying to play 24 channels of PCM data at 96 kHz through a dialup connection might give less than satisfactory results... :) Cheers! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.
