Hi,
I remember a thread on hotwire client for linux that started in july. I
browsed thru it again today and it didn't seem to have any concrete solution
on the matter. Did any of you guys do anything? I have been myself using
hotwire internet for the last 5 months on linux (redhat 8 on WINE). There
seems to be no problem with wine running the MFC app (shittiest VC++ app I
have ever seen!) on linux. I don't know how many of you have tried this
solution.
Now, why I am starting the thread again is because I wasn't pleased with the
way the authentication client was working (seems to get disconnected often)
and storing username , passwd, DNS etc. was a big hassle. So I wrote a
socket application which does the same thing as the client. The code is in
plain C and it is only command-line (will modify to include a config file to
store persistent data). I have reduced the keep-alive packet timeout with the
server and it seems the application is running better than the shitty windows
client! Right now I am running the app and the results are very satisfactory
(been up for an hour with no disconnection and avg speed of 10kbps).
Now what I want to know is that how many hotwire internet users are there in
this group who would be interested in this application. I started a few hours
back and its already running by now. If anyone is interested, please mail me
and let me know ASAP. I will develop it further, maybe adorn it with a GUI.
If anyone is interested in developing, you are welcome.
Also I want to know from the experienced developers in the list that what I
should use to code the GUI for the app so that all distros can use it. Any
comments??
Regards,
Bhaskar.
