Not that I've really used them, but for anything TCP/IP I would say use the Indy suite of components. It is open source and comes with Delphi 6+. For more information and the latest version go to http://www.nevrona.com/indy/.
For security I would simply use a VPN. -Andreas -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-delphi@;delphi.org.nz]On Behalf Of Tracey Maule Sent: Wednesday, 23 October 2002 14:56 To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: Re: [DUG]: something other than isapi - your opinions please > Here's a couple of options: > > 1.
