I have tried your server, but seeing that I can only connect via Java I
have had some problems with it, ie, I can't connect to it via Java or via
the linux viewer 3.3.3.  I don't know if there is a bug in the server, or
if the web server has yet to be fully implemented, but it has not allowed
me to connect.  Any suggestions there?
