Today, I deleted the shared drives and printers in the NX client
configuration on the XP PC and re-entered them then tried connecting
with a modem and this time everything worked???  The shared folder and
printer mapped fine Not sure what the problem was as the previous
configuration worked fine over DSL. Maybe I had the client set to DSL
speed instead of modem which caused comms issues?  I will try and
reproduce the problem.
