This should not throw an error. What version of SC are you running? Have
you recompiled the library to make sure there's nothing else defined that
interferes with your code?

It should rather be:
u = Server(\scau, NetAddr("127.0.0.", 9989));
u.startAliveThread;

Server -remote does exactly that for you, if you look in the Server.sc
class file.
