I'm very pleased others are joining me in pursuit of "native" MicroSoft Windows API support.
Perhaps now the Linux / Perl extremists will stop flaming me via my personal email address .....

I'm in favor of Tucows using their energy to produce a webservice

in VB.Net. That would be a platform and language neutral solution, which
also adheres to open standards. We(as in the dev community here) could
supply a variety of client software, opening up a whole new profit
center in the process. There are always the open source Perl and PHP
clients for those who want free software. The Tucows folks could
concentrate on adding features to the webservice like WS-Security, etc.
I was able to write a web client in a few hours for the amazon.com web
service to search for books and CDs.
Windows is definitely the ugly stepchild here, we will fix that in a few
months.
Of course, it would be nice to know what Tucows' plans are, so we are
not duplicating efforts.

Again, effectively, Tucows only supports a singleconfiguration in a specific environment.
something standard, let's not reinvent the wheel! SOAP runs on Java, Perl, PHP, C (raise your hand if it doesn't run on your platform :-)), etc.. Tucows uses XML anyway, the XML DTD-s are already there...I am in favour of SOAP over HTTPS. Or
