If it's any sizeable amount of work, true - although I'm investigating using an existing LGPL network library to implement a provider. If it turns out to be a relatively simple task, then we can provide it, partially as an early solution, but the big benefit I see is that we can use it to test the infrastructure and make sure the rest works while we implement the DirectPlay provider. > * How Samba was written > by Andrew Tridgell > http://samba.org/ftp/tridge/misc/french_cafe.txt > > * Myths About Samba > by Andrew Tridgell > http://www.groklaw.net/articlebasic.php?story=20050205010415933 Got them printed out, unfortunately ATM I lack a licensed version of Windows with which to do the sniffing :\ -- "You can bring any calculator you like to the midterm, as long as it doesn't dim the lights when you turn it on." - Hepler, Systems Design 182
