I will do that - any help would be most welcome.

No, they are separate machines - I use M-slime-connect to connect from
the OpenBSD box to the XP machine, which is why use 

   (defun init-slime ()
     (mp:initialize-multiprocessing)
     (sleep 2)
     (setf swank::*loopback-interface* "192.168.2.16")
     (setf swank::*use-dedicated-output-stream* nil)
     (swank:create-swank-server 4005
                                swank::*communication-style*
                                #'swank::simple-announce-function
                                t))

to change the address swank listens at from "127.0.0.1" to
"192.168.2.16", to enable remote connections.  I am not sure this is
really the best way to do it, though.

best,
