I don't want to emulate COM and/or make Linux apps talk suing DCE-RPC to DCOM.
My main intention in here is to simply allow ASP.NET programs that access COM objects to run on Linux under Apache2, Mod_Mono and Mono. That's it. Instead of emulating the environment I simply delegate it to the Windows machine.

He has some initial tests running (not just DCOM but binary compatible to Windows). One of the problems he identified was the fact that a number of Linux programs provide DCE-RPC services on Linux: Samba (as the oldes and most advanced program), DCE-RPC itself and DCOM. This mess would require some kind of DCE-RPC "portmapper" to sort out. Regards Joerg __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.
