Unix?

[Todd]

Is there anyway, using vb.net, to connect to a Unix server
and read a text file from it? Any samples would help.

thanks,

One way would be to use the WinInet API. I do something similar only
the other way... I write a file to a Unix server. The underlying
mechanism is FTP, but it looks like a simple file write from my C# code
