It may solve the problem for talking with COM object in Linux, but you can do the same by using Microsoft SOAP Toolkit and treat these COM objects as a Web Service.
What I'm trying to do is to make an ASP.NET application that does reference certain COM objects for legacy reasons (the transition from ASP to ASP.NET) and needs to run on top of Linux. For that I need to simply write a DCOM client and write a compatible Com Callable Wrapper (CCW) that will make all COM calls 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.
