[nsp]

Hi all,

Would like to know if it is possible to interface a socket connection
between Unix and a VB application running on Windows?

Thanks!

Absolutely. The sockets layer basically doesn't know or care what
operating system each side is running.

Yes its very easy. In fact you might consider Indy, which you can even use on
..NET, Linux, or Windows.

i do this all the time - I have a .NET app that configures and communicates
with my network hardware, (router, firewall, wireless AP), which all run I
don't know what OS (certainly not windows).
