Hello Werner, The component itself will take about 2 KB of memory. A listening socket (is a socket in rest) will take about 4 KB (nonpaged) memory. A data socket (if a client is connected) around 8 KB (nonpaged) because it is sending and receiving.
As for other recources like CPU load etc, it is depending on amount of data and network speed, but since data is go/come from a serial device I should not worry about this. So I think a thread will be overkill. --- Rgds, Wilfried http://www.mestdagh.biz Saturday, October 8, 2005, 09:53, Werner wrote: > Hi, > I have an application that continueous (every 500ms) have contact > with a machine by rs232.
