	I think Roth Tamas is refering to the client, not the server, he said that 
ever thing workings fine connecting to the server, only when starting the 
btrieve clients does it freak out.

	It sould like the btrieve client might be using DOS tricks to go resident, 
now if I remember reading of the list not to long ago, there is a whole 
thing with TSR's and PSP and stuff like that.  I think that someone would 
have to have a closer look at the TSR.  Have you looked for the latest 
version of the client?  That might help.

	I remember having problems with btrieve and Win95 when Win95 first came out, 
and an updated btrieve.exe fixed the problem.

	Hope that helps.
