Can you accomplish the log file transfer without using rd--if these machines
are separated by an untrusted network, perhaps a VPN connection between
them?

I'd think you'd have a good chance of managing the job of moving the log
file without interrupting the NetMeeting call.

Otherwise, I don't really know where to start--your observations are clear,
but I think I'd have to replicate your setup to see whether it does the same
thing for me.
