Class for sockets?

[Terry Olsen]

I'm wondering if a winsock class has been written that functions similar to
the winsock.ocx from VB6.

Terry,
Have you reviewed the System.Net & System.Net.Sockets namespace, particular
the TcpClient & TcpListener classes in System.Net.Sockets?

Hope this helps

Yeah, I'm struggling with trying to figure it out. I'm trying to write a
telnet<->serial port bridge app that will pass raw byte data both ways.
I've got the serial port side of it pretty much figured out. It's the
listener side that I'm really stumped on...though I think I may have it
figured out, just need to experiment and see what works.

Here's what I want my app to do:

Listen for incoming telnet requests. When a request comes in, connect the
remote client to the serial port and pass raw binary data back & forth. If
a subsequent request comes in while the first client is connected, tell the
new request that the line is busy and disconnect.

Terry,
MSDN & the internet provides a number of samples on using both classes.

Matthew MacDonald's book "Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Programmer's Cookbook"
from MS Press has a couple of good topics on using the listener & the
client.

Unfortunately I do not have any specific experience with either class.

Hope this helps
Jay
