Telnet is TCP. Actually almost all high level protocols (http, smtp, nntp, pop3, telnet, ftpa nd more) are TCP. ICS doesn't implement any high level using UDP. As UDP is sessionless and connectionless, it is clear that the quote from the help file doesn't apply. > Perhaps an extra statement in the wsocket.hlp file that this does _not_ > apply to UDP and that listen does not ever generate a call to > OnSessionAvailable would have saved me some time. This help file is very old and not maintened at all. There is a wiki which is there to replace the help file but we lack volunteers to build it. See http://wiki.overbyte.be. If you have some spare time, you may contribute to writing the wiki, even if you don't know the details. We are looking for someone willing to simply enter all properties, methods and events for each component. Other people will enter the full description. -- Contribute to the SSL Effort.
