Please don't send html email.  (That may be why no one else has

Actually, Ulf Lamping did quite a lot of work on DCOM (including the
REMACT interface) over a year ago, but it has yet to make in into
ethereal.  That's most likely my fault, as I asked him to break his
work up into several patches, and then had no time to look at them.
(Sorry, Ulf!)

Haven't looked at it, yet, but I'll try to go over that and Ulf's
older stuff in the near future.  Of course, I may find that I don't
have the time again, in which case I'd suggest that Guy (or someone)
just apply Ulf's stuff as it stands (though the patch is probably
stale by now).
