Just an update on the TCP Socket programming post for those that are interested 
...

I installed the ICS package as suggested by Paul.

The installation was a breeze and with the demo TCP Client example I was able 
to talk to the server immediately without writing any of my own code - magic! 

One of the good points is that you can have either blocking or non-blocking 
sockets as required but the major plus is that it is fully event driven, i.e. 
there's a "data received" event etc.

I'm now using Synapse.. A lot less help, but stable and reliable and 
efficient.. Indy was a project I gave up on when it started filling up with 
bugs at the Dot Net era.

Yes, I am.
I write all my servers and client software with 
it.
It's very stable and fast
V7 works with D2009 with lot's of 
demo's
 
If you have questions, subscribe to the twsocket 
list ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
You'll get good support there
 
Indy isn't bad either, but blocking 
only.
With ICS, a server can handle hundreds of 
connections in a single thread and very fast.
