        UDP is one of the 3 protocols used... I believe it is the middle (i.e.
first "fallback") of the 3.

        Also, if you go to the extensive RealAudio online support at:
 <http://www.real.com> they have extensive information, including firewall
configuration and which port to "punch a hole" in.

        One word of caution: The RealAudio G2 player only works on 603, 604, and
750 (G3) Macs... And you need older server software to reach 68040 and 601
Macs. Backwards compatibility is crucial: Imagine creating a Web site with
frames, yet not having a "noframes" section. Same thing with RealAudio
players.

        Cheers!
