I'm confused here. I set up a test 2.0 client/server connection using push,
(worked very nicely, btw) but as far as see from my config, I'm using server
& push as an alternative to using DHCP on a bridged connection where there
server runs from inetd. 

Would the bridge/dhcp/inetd setup not work from a 1.6 client talking to a
2.0 server or am I missing somthing?
