With FPX2k, Microsoft has hit a new performance metric <wry grin>; it's
even close to impossible to get them to work on W2k Advanced Server (I
gave up <frown>).

They're NOT available from Cobalt.  I'm not going to try to make them
available for RaQs until/unless I can successfully do it on a "straight"
linux box.  So far I can't even do it on W2k Advanced Server,
Microsoft's $5,000 product designed for ISPs and webhosters.  <frown>

Sure, get the lawyer.  Have the lawyer go after Microsoft for creating
something even they can't figure out how to support.  Let me know if you
win <wry grin>.
