Does anyone know if there is a way to tell Oracle to properly log TNS listener failures on NT servers?

I know I can set the auditing level higher in listener.ora, but all I want is for the listener to put an entry in Event Viewer when it fails. I don't want my log files to grow exponentially.

I have a server here whose TNSListener service started at 6:10 this morning, but at 7:55 the service was stopped. No record anywhere of when it went down, or the cause.

This box is outside the firewall so polling the listener via the OEM or similar tools, or snmp is not an option.

We are still on Oracle 7.3.4.4, perhaps I am expecting too much. Oracle hadn't finished integrating its software into NT at this version.
