The server *CAN* call Trigger() whenever it needs to.  Trigger() can then
call the Fire_...() method for whichever event(s) its wants to, and those
events will be called in the client's event sink.

Borland's answer is completely wrong.  Servers *DO* have that kind of logic
available.  Connection Points are designed exactly to handle the kind of
Push model that Borland says servers can't have.  I know it works because I
have several COM servers that push unsolicited events to clients in response
to external triggers (hardware events, file changes, etc).  Also, it is
possible to design a COM server inside an NT service, such that the COM
server *IS* executing code on its own without having any clients connected
at all.
