Thanks Paul,
It worked. Just that when you said "quickly" you should said "with the
speed of light"...It has to be done VERY VERY QUICKLY.

ANyway, after connecting, Dock TCP/IP 1.2 was installed and now the
connection done through TCP/IP. Much better.

By the way...the nightly build of Escale (23 of May i think)is a good
improvement over the "official" package. Showing the name of the
package being installed and the progress of the install is a nice
touche but the real good thing is the fix of the bug that Escale would
show "Installing Package" even if it had finished installation.

Keep up the good work!.
