Is there reassembly?  I though the only time frags got reassembled was on a
proxy server or on the remote application.  VPN software can't possibly
cache chunks of payload for arbitrary periods of time, can it?  Maybe I need
to read more code.

Where do these files live?  I guess because I live outside of the app's home
in Program Files I haven't stumbled across them.

I'll hit the client here when I'm up for real.

Thanks again,
