In Qt 3.0 it was not meant to be like that anymore and the problem that the port was still open is rather a mistake which should be fixed now for upcomin g Qt 3.0 releases. Thank you for informing us about this problem. Best regards, Rainer - -- Rainer M. Schmid Trolltech AS, Waldemar Thranes gate 98, NO-0175 Oslo, Norway
