I'd like to add - MonitorWare Agent - EventReporter - WinSyslog to the list ;) Not only for marketing purposes, but to get it complete. Any other ones out there? I am asking because if we already do support syslog over TCP, we might at least in this group agree on a way to do it. If it then prooves to be doing nicely, we could try to get some attention for such a protocol (you know, running code... ;)) Please note that I have been relatively silent on the list as I am exploring mtr's "simple beep, just say no approach". I am not sure yet, but maybe the negotation is not as bad as all. We may write a small lib to cover this (probably as open source...). Needs to be seen... Rainer
