Hey, I sure would be interested. Got on Hotwire two days ago, and have been trying to figure out the protocol (if any) using a packet sniffer. But you seem to have done it already. Some details would be appreciated. Arunjeet Singh

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??
