Neer"> Has anyone, by the way, had a favorable experience building > client/servers on a tcp/ip package of any sort? Yes ! We are currently running a large server on top of FTP Software's PC/TCP together with their PC/TCP Development kit. We are also using WD8003E cards, which work fine. PC/TCP also supports a lot of other cards. Our server (socket based) is able to run at least 16 simultanous connections, (we see a limit there, which is almost certain imposed by lack of DOS descriptors). I am sure that PC/TCP will handle more connections than this. However, the product has run several months in our development dep. and there have been NO (I am serious) problems at all with unreliable network software. The folks at FTP Software give excellent support/service, and they also (I think) want to sell a product that runs with most other commercial implementations of TCP/IP. This should ensure a product that corrects serious bugs during its life-cycle. If there are any questions to our use of PC/TCP I am glad to be asked ! -- Harald H|eg Tandberg Data A/S E-mail: mcvax!ndosl!huldra!haho P.B. 9 Korsvoll Tlf: 47 2 18 90 90 N-0808 Oslo 8, NORWAY Fax: 47 2 18 95 50
