Cool, thanks for the insight. Getting the whole phayer down to 250k is
pretty impressive (now if they would only do a linux version of flash 5...)

That shouldn't be hard to duplicate. I get a core dump, one of the two
processes i can see with 'ps aux' dies and it stops working (although i
think it still tries to accept new connections). I guess that the
interface part, jabberd i think, is still running but the backend has
crashed. Only a guess though, i'm ignorant :)

hehehe
I'm pretty close to having a switch in the pthsock config which would
turn it into flash5 compatible mode. then flash5 can just connect on a
different port.
Thanks for the info, Oliver.
