Have you considered ExgDBRead? I know you're not using the
Exchange Manager to get your data, but from the documentation, it
appears that ExgDBRead only needs a function (ReadProc) capable
of delivering a stream of bytes, which could as easily be coming
in through NetLib as through ExgReceive.
Let me know if this works!
