Re: XDMCP on Windows 95

[Sylvain Petreolle <spetreolle at yahoo dot fr>]

You're correct, I should have said 'product foo'...
I took Microsoft as example because it was the first company I had in
mind. I don't have anything against Microsoft, otherwise I wouldn't use
Cygwin ;)

In the company I'm working now, almost every network TCP port is
customized. What I wanted to say is :
If the port 1234 is used with some X servers with XDMCP and it crashes,
some online customer helpdesk will say : "You don't use standard XDMCP
port, I can't do anything for you. Get lost." I don't want Cygwin-Xfree
to do the same.
