Ok, people are going to hate me for this, but it was the best place I could think of..:) Ok, first of all I am a Macintosh and UNIX guy, I don't usually use Windows unless I have to. Said that, a friend of mine is programming a HUGE program for a HUGE TV network here in Mexico to monitor all the repeating signals in the whole country. They need to put a PC station with windows in every repeater antenna and via TCP/IP send the data to the central. Now, the problem is that he hasn't found any stack yet which can establish a telephonic TCP/IP conection whenever you open a TCP/IP application, the way you can with the Macintosh and I think with Windows 95 (this will be win 3.1). So, If you know of a shareware/freeware/commercial (in that order of preference..:) TCP/IP stack that can startup a TCP/IP connection whenever a TCP/IP app calls for it (usually after a reboot, a system crash or the earlier connection dropping), please let me know. I think there exists this since Netscape uses its own dialer which is called whenever a connection wants to be established. Thanks for your time, thanks in advance for any replies and excuse the off topic mail. BTW, please answer to the list, if anyone else is interested mail me and I'll forward the mail to them. Also, flames will be gladly taken since I've blatantly jumped over one of the rules of the list, they will probably not be read anyway and if possible should be directed to me directly, not the list itself (believe it or not I am ashamed for using the list, but I prefer the insight of someone than doing a blind WWW search and all the other lists I am subscribed to are Macintosh specific) Greets Mythago. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eduardo Gutierrez de Oliveira eduo@sparc.ciateq.conacyt.mx Administrador de Internet Internet Administrator Proveedor de Servicio Internet Internet Service Provider CIATEQ, A.C.
