Xref: mnetor comp.dcom.lans:674 comp.protocols.tcp-ip:650 Would someone please post a summary of reasons why use of Streams is an advantage. Is this just another sales-hype buzzword? or is there a reason Streams is better? than sockets? than psudo-sockets? or select? Does the end user see any advantage? faster response? less CPU waste? what? Does anyone have some before & after figures on drivers that were converted to Streams? Please share them with us. Thanks, Mel Haas , odyssey!mel
