Well, I am confused. Everything I read about debugging a TSP by
starting TAPISRV.exe is somewhat compromised by not being able to find
TAPISRV.exe ANYWHERE on my system. Looking through the registry, I get
the impression that it should not be on my machine, and that the
functions are provided by TAPISrv.dll, running under svchost.exe.

This seems to be borne out by a Microsoft statement on
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/tapi/tapi3/tapi_server.asp
that says "On Windows Server 2003 family, Windows XP, and Windows
2000, TAPISRV runs within the context of Svchost.exe. "

So, my question is this: How can I debug my C++ TSP by attaching to
the process that runs TAPISrv.dll?

Thanks for any guidance you might have for me.
