Hi,
I remember a thread on hotwire client for linux that started in july. I browsed thru it again today and it didn't seem to have any concrete solution on the matter. Did any of you guys do anything? I have been myself using hotwire internet for the last 5 months on linux (redhat 8 on WINE). There seems to be no problem with wine running the MFC app (shittiest VC++ app I have ever seen!) on linux. I don't know how many of you have tried this solution.
:D I have been using Pankaj Kaushal's hotconnect. Since it too crashes whenevr the TCP connection is broken, I have it monitored and restarted using daemontools. Havent worried about hotwire for a loooong time now. :)
The best part is that from time to time Hotwires authentication servers crash out, so clients dont work. To prevent an outrage, they give access to anybody without autehntication. Due to daemontools, they get a beautiful stream of traffic at their auth server from me because their server is not listening and my client is really persistent. ;) They dare not complain to me about it. But with half of delhi doing what I am doing, their server is going to be battered as hell. Ahh .. that is what dreams are made of .. You have no clue how sadistic I feel towards these totally incompetent service providers.

P.S. All ICMP traffic (including port-unreachable) is still blocked. Ping/traceroute seem like history.
