Low-level socket development with handles and byte counting is a lot less necessary than most people think. There are usually higher-level protocols that can or be used, rather than a custom protocol. If you do "need" a client to a proprietary socket interface, you could write a socket interface with Java, C#, VB.NET, or C++, and call these directly from BASIC. A client component for your target server may already exist, and it will be much easier to fit that with an interface from jBase than to do the socket work for a direct connection. In other words: jBase< write-this >< existing-client >server You don't even need the source to the existing client - and in fact it would be more elegant and maintainable to use a proxy to that code without the need to understand the internals. I've done this sort of work before and as part of a service engagement can provide you with a solution that's as simple as a BASIC subroutine call to get the job done.
