Not sure on this one - seem to remember some comments on the list b4 -
but not tries it yet... something to do with having MC already running
in background on the server (ie not started by a cgi)?

Is it then possible for the CGI to start using / send messages to the MC
stacks already up and running? This has to be possible via some type of
IAC but is the process started via the same as the mc engine running in
the background...

Wouldn't mind getting clear on these issues myself...
