Hi Jeremy, I have not studied the source code of Anti-Freeze control in INDY, I just use the control once, it seems that if I do not put it in the application, while I make my connection to outside and do some blocking call, the whole application seems frozen.

Thats what I thought. DCOM, while its nice, is a pain to setup plus the other issues about win95 etc etc. I think I need to just do a little re-work on my TCP/IP stuff and just have it connect when it needs to. At the moment, I leave the TCP/IP connection open ...in this case over night, but it didnt seem to do anything. Maybe the connection just dropped after inactivity or something. But that raises another question, the Anti-Freeze control in INDY, what does it actually do...what does it "Anti-Freeze" exactly?
