Why do you not migrate some hosts to boinc and verify the installation 
and test the clients on your different platfroms. - For all your 
platforms are binaries available.

i didn't know until now that boinc will work behind a proxy server.
this is the main reason.
second reason is (not a really big reason): we don't have the password
on our account and our domain has moved (my boss, the subscriber of
this account, don't remember the password), so we can't use the same
account for boinc.
i think we will migrate to boinc when seti classic is closing.

It think it is to bad about, if a strong cruncher stops crunching ! - 
The science is already the same in classic and boinc seti. And the next 
generation of the seti app will do a lot of more usefull science !
Also you can partipicate some other project like on your personal 
interest. If you configure boinc right, you will always have a "backup" 
project, if seti is down.

is there a possibility with boinc to see all clients on one computer
(like setiqueue)?
now i take look at setiqueue and i see if a computer is down or has
problems with a workunit (not sending wu, down  or something else).
With the boinc manager, you can manage a lot of hosts, but see only one. 
 You must connect to the system manualy.
A very good alternative is boinc view. You can add all your hosts in a 
list, see the different hosts.

we have 130 clients now. i don't have time to control all by manual
connect :-P

I am not shure, but I have seen that setiqueue is now available for 
boinc now. - I will search around in the forums.
At http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_network.php you will find a lot of 
third party tools.

i will take a look at these in the next time...

my goal now is to make 99.999% before classic is closing, but i don't
think that we can get there.
