Having read the changelog and some comments in the list archives
concerning BrowseTimeout and BrowseInterval it was my intention to do
this. However, to improve my understanding of the concepts involved I
carried out the tests I described. As you will see from another message
in this thread my chosen technique was not a good one.

Your reference to 'network problems' was one element which caused me to
rethink what I was doing. Thanks.
