I can't give you the details, since I use MPW myself. All the calls to MacTCP are standard PBControl calls, though. > - What documentation / books on developing with this driver are recommended? You will certainly want to get the MacTCP Developer's Kit, available from APDA. It's part number M0704, and I believe it costs under $100 (US). It comes with the MacTCP distribution, header files, etc., and documents the various calls you can make to MacTCP in some detail... > - Are there any special things, like incompatibilities with other sw? Only with products that implement their own protocol stacks, like some versions of NCSA Telnet, and older version of Stanford's MacIP-based software. > - can the normal NCSA TelNet 2.2 be used when the driver is installed? No, I believe you need a special version of NCSA compiled to use the MacTCP driver. |<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>| | David N.
