Thanks Kevin:  I'm not going to obsess on this I'll probably wait on
the new machine, I'm still amazed that virtualisation works at all and some
xap traffic seems to be getting through but I wonder if it's a hub issue.

I had a few xap apps working quite nicely in my old house but xap has moved
on a little while I've been doing things like putting floors down!

Many thanks anyway

Karl
