I think the monitoring of frame output on the server by the program and it's making adjustments would be too hard to implement – the onus for that is still going to be on the person monitoring the server locally or by modem. If a system hangs you would probably still need some kind of operator intervention, IMHO. I also think a station's performance is not going to vary relative to the other machines, so long as it doesn't start paging to disk. Therefore, I would propose creating a configuration file when the program is setup with a relative performance index for each station. This could be gleaned by doing a standard benchmark for each machine (100 for the fastest machine and a percentage for the slower machines – 56, 89 etc.?), *not* each time you do a rendering. Of course, if this were found to be inaccurate you could edit the config file to make adjustments to a machine's index. Just a few thoughts, ta ta! Martin
