There is also the problem that a number of applications (such as Internet in a Box) require there own Winsock to make connections to the Internet. If you replace the Ibox winsock with another, when you run the programs they will no longer call the dialer to dial into the Internet. I believe the same holds true for Trumpet.

I only have familiarity with the commercial Netmanage Chameleon Winsock implementation. Someone else had let me know about this potential difficulty. Apparently some Winsock stacks only provide a WINSOCK.DLL for 3rd party compatibility, i.e., their own applications talk to proprietary hooks into their stack for performance or other reasons. Netmanage's products do both; they perform their network I/O through WINSOCK.DLL, but also use a variety of shared library functions supplied with the rest of the stack. In this case, my WINSOCK.DLL shim works fine. Remember, I'm not replacing a given implementation's DLL, just intercepting and passing through calls to it. So as long as a mail application uses exclusively standards based Windows Sockets API calls _to perform network I/O_, my product should work. YMMV, of course :) ======================================================================= Johnathan Corgan "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent" jcorgan@netcom.com -Isaac Asimov PGP Public Key: http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/pks-toplev.html Or send email to: pgp-public-keys@pgp.ai.mit.edu Subj: GET jcorgan ======================================================================= -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBLvtW4k1Diok8GKihAQEjngP7BRUatySeVmJ2SvDLycMYtCTh5obyvAZ4 nLxhP69VUCs1LprfMVWIsL46WsS/neiVpf3Wor0T/kzLrb0s/0m3a8+GQhdz7te9 NRQbJGfJG57KR1yCBHMk2/HSDjVR0daCQVQCcJFTqw2aOXfWo6x20ZZqQvR1N2Ju U57UIG9BRG4= =Xm6z -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
