The workstation client id is installed from the Forky repository and is 
15.0.3-5,

The server version is from Trixie and is 15.0.3-3,

My understanding of the numbering is the ones after the "-" are build 
numbers - they don't include feature changes. In fact, the first (.0) 
and second sub-version numbers (.3) changing shouldn't break compatibility.

An interesting side note: I changed the autochanger address to the 
server address last night, and it's no longer preventing me from 
communicating with the clients. That is, I can use bconsole status 
client to reach both the server and the workstation.

However, if I use bconsole status network, I can only get the status of 
the server. If I try the workstation, bconsole never responds.
