I run the ZB-Server 1.5d with a couple of VB4 CGI's, WinFTPd 2.41
and SLmail 2.0 fw plus wIRCsrv 4.17 since 1997 without any problems. ;-))

On my Athlon 1,2 GHz with an Ultra-ATA 100 around 9 seconds... ;-))
Please note, that I use this machine only for Dos-Programming (DJGPP)
and compiling... ;-)) I do not like to wait 19 hours anymore to compile
a 1 MByte EXE. Now it is done in around 3 Minutes.
