         Especially serious protocol conflicts have been noted with Apache
         web

         servers.

         You should be a little more specific than that.

         * This (alt.sf4m) is a science-fiction discussion group. sf4m stands

         I hope that helps! Welcome on-line!

         Messages are translated into Navajo and transmitted to other usenet

         sites via relay chains of drummers. There they are retranslated into

         English; all spelling and grammatical errors are generated at this

         step.

         Throughput issues make the Indian Drum Protocol networking solution

         undesirable for interactive use, but simple telnet shell connections

         have been accomplished using IDP. X-windows performace over such a

         network is known to be somewhat poor.
