See my first paragraph.
The system where Xastir resides is a Win2k machine with cygwin.
The older system which is basically just the x server is a win95 machine 
with cygwin.

Nope

Nope

The AGWPE socket tends to go "deaf" but I think that's a fault with 
AGWPE... once a packet is TX'd from it then AGWPE will continue to RX. 
(this has happened before even with other client software)

The other connections aren't timing out.  Data is going to Xastir but 
Xastir isn't doing anything with it.
