I'll be there. I'm holding my breath. Any chance you could post a summary 
here now? How about a new domain name resolver? I had horrible problems 
with the 1.0.1 version frequently hanging - my resolver result proc was 
called with the return code still set to cacheFault - no ip address, no 
error code, no nothing. I finally had to write my own resolver for my most 
recent program. I've noticed the same problems in other programs that use MacTCP - domain name resolutions sometimes seem to just hang.

Please take my complaints as a compliment - if MacTCP wasn't so great, and 
if I didn't rely on it so much, I wouldn't care about its problems.

I look forward to your presentation, and to MacTCP 1.1.
