Nope - I recreated on a backup machine I keep here, made a couple of quick additions and changes to the server and locked everything down based on the test and went back to work. Apache for windows rules!. I was asking around in another relevant NG if anyone else with a stock Apache set-up could recreate - no one has been able to - but no one with a stock apache set-up replied. My take now is that it's a door rattler or some sort a test run as it's only turning up in a couple of open logs at this point. http://www.google.ca/search?q=%2F%255c%252e%252e%255clogs%255cinstall.log&ie=ISO-8859-1&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search&meta= I turned it into cert - passed it along to apache.org alerted some relevant NG and passed it around to a couple of M&E clients of mine with a config update and that's about all I have time to do right now. No one had seen it come by their shops yet - but applied the update and got back to their days jobs as well. I'm getting several new hits (IP's I've never seen before) based on the search criteria - so I think a few other folks are starting to see it in their logs too. And perhaps interestingly - a fast wave of spam bounced off the mailserver shielding with the the IP range of the original (t-dialin) buried in the middle about 3 hours later. Frankly - like I said - it may be nothing serious at all. But given it exposed httpd.conf on Apache, it caught my attention in short order.. > > Listened a bit more to Radio Free Dexterdyne...........quite an interesting > series of tracks.

What you aren't hearing is the trenching and most of the really bad pops as I've masked and filtered on the LP stuff before converting to RealAudio codex. I don't have the extra scratch to replace all my albums - but have been noticing several excellent remasters coming out lately if you hear a tune you like and you do. If I spent the time I could probably fix up my stuff to flatten off the volume spread - but as my focus is actually server testing and the stream is really just a way to load up the server - I have been focusing efforts on the server rather than the output. As long as the stream doesn't buffer out or go hollow in the middle of a particular tune - the server is working as designed. > > Just for the record I have a Denon AVR 3803 digital amp/receiver (9 months > old), a Pioneer DV525 DVD player (4 years old), a JVC HR-S6855 Super VHS VCR > (one year old), a Sky digital satellite system (fixed dish) (two years old) > and a Sony 32" flat panel TV (six months old).

I run older gear myself - I have some Revox studio stuff with several classic sony bits and pieces supporting it. While not nearly as advanced as your own system - I picked it up before the children came along on the premise that I needed stuff that would last while family funds were 'repurposed'. So far so good.. :) .. Anyway - back to work again - nice to hear from you brother Pete and thanks again for the feedback.. I gather Napster is going to be revived using the same listen - but no download - model I have had in place here. I think it's going to be subscription plan, but if the frequency range is going to be a lot better it might be worth it for the serious audiophile like yourself. Anyway - personal moment for the day over - back to work..
