The DLR supplied with LS 3.0 beta has some problems.  I would recemend the                                                                            
DLR from LS 2.0 GA.  The problems I have seen are random diconnections                                                                                
from the Server, or program lockups I think because of disconnect.  If you                                                                            
still have trouble, I can post a DOSLAN.INI that works good for us at DLR
