yea i was afraid of that. i wonder if there's any way to do it with the windows tcp stack. mTCP works great on a dos machine. and iguess i'm one of those nutjobs that like running dos on period hardware :D

i'm running synchro on a windows nt machine just cus i can :D I was wondering about writing "DOS" door. i've written a number of linux sided things, but want to cover both and i know absolutely zero java in any form :D
