[Xitami] :: denial of service ::

[Paulo Silva]

I have my W2k Pro running with Xitami for some years without
a problem. I only restarted the pc because of work i was doing. Never
crashed.
In that pc i also have a Mail Server(SMTP+POP3+WEB) and FTP.
Everything protected by a firewall (Winroute).
I agree you should drop W9x versions and get W2k pro (forget NT) and
get the security patches/service packs.
Xitami should be instaled as a service.
