On your site you said, ServerSockets may still have problems on occasion. If you can help by providing an environment where the bug is reproduceable, please contact me. I am having this problem exactly...ie...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. All I know is that the code I'm working with works in Windows NT, but does not work in Linux. And I hate working with NT, so I would like it if this bug is zapped. I am delighted to provide an "environment" where I can reproduce this bug. I know the code that I'm dealing with, so.... if I can be of assistance. Sorry to post this if this problem is already being dealt with. I have not been keeping up with the mailing list. Please tell me what is going on with regard to this problem anyway. Thank you, Scott Jappinen [EMAIL PROTECTED] P.S. Because I am already trying to read so many mailing lists, please make the subject noticable...or whatever.
