Yes, it is the HawkNL library (http://hawksoft.com/hawknl/). It is LGPL and in 2005 it was the only open source library I found that was portable on all platforms supported by CS. It is really low level, it just provides a common API for all platforms (so you do networking “manually” with sockets). I don't know if there are now other libraries that can be used but this one can most probably be dumped into CEL instead of expecting for the user to install it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Xperia(TM) PLAY It's a major breakthrough.
