I'd just like to clarify something.

The Kerberos implementation _done by Microsoft_ is the broken version
("broken" being a relative term :-) ).  The one done by Cygnus _using
the GNU-WIN32 package_ is a close-to-straight port of the MIT V5
release (but there are still a few #ifdef's in the code).

However, since HylaFAX uses many of the characteristics of Unix
terminal devices, I doubt the server side would port to NT.  Client
shouldn't be that hard, though.
