Since those classes are not yet implemented.   First I would be very honoured to do that, but I really can't. Hacking in C# is a thing to learn and as a purpose I choose the Linux platform to combine both to learn from each end. Doing such I also wanted to know how to write daemons, and since hacking away on something that would be a nice goal to reach for myself. I know that I aim to high sometimes.   BUT.... I am not a very experienced programmer and above that I know very little about hacking classes for perticular OSes. So, I think it is not a good idea to have myself started on this and get lost or desinterested. Going by little steps works for me and having a lot of patience is what I have to learn. And I'm willing to learn how to program stuff for Linux, but I am very novice on it. Got my box Linux configured in february for the first time so....... = )   So, I will wait (with respect though) till somebody else will have the need or the urge to build those classes.   Along the side of this list I will learn quite enough and maybe in the future I will add my two cents to the project.   Thanks again and I will see how it will develop itself (no not automatically like AI, I mean the project = ))   Aschwin
