COM is Microsoft-specification/technology for encapsulating interoperable object-oriented code (usually in c++ or vb, and sometimes Delphi(pascal)). "Sockets" are essentially an API that interfaces with TCP/IP, which contains (among others) the TCP and UDP network protocols. DCOM (distributed COM) does use a network protocol that allows COM objects to talk across the internet with each other. That's most likely what you were thinking of. As others mentioned I do have some COM objects that allow you to directly use TCP or UDP protcols at http://www.intrafoundation.com/tcpclient.html and http://www.intrafoundation.com/udpclient.html. --min ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your ad could be here.
