Hi Jon-Paul,
sorry for going off topic, but...
if there's still an issue with the appliance (on CAL?), doesn't it flow over to the client? i have the client SP80 installed, but until i get the confirmation that the server i'm connecting to is 'production' ready i can't really take the full advantage of the upgraded client as i don't see any significant point of using client 80 with server 74, but it sounds like you would want to make it work, nevertheless.
to me, yellow is still yellow even though it doesn't really stand for anything.
good luck and let us know your test results,
greg
