I recommend against doing that, as it is not in my control. Be patient... our marketing department will announce its available as soon as it is possible.

We are talking in terms of a few weeks, not months. To speed this up further we should email LeRoy each day asking "is it here yet!"

My posting did have a little RD&C and a smiley but since you'd like to approach this more seriously... I make my recommendations based on my sense of good business, not idle touting. The touting and smiles just decorate my business recommendations, even though I stand to gain absolutely nothing from the commentary. With the thousands of postings to this forum George, it's tough to remember who's p.o'd at who, and who likes or doesn't like a given product. When I see a question, I post an answer if I have one. Going back through my archive I now see you've lost about 6 months of development time asking the same question a few times with no suitable answer, and waiting for some other solution to come by. In that same time I've seen others in your position develop and deploy their solutions using the tools that are available. The song says "if you can't be with the one you love, honey, love the one you're with". In the business world when we don't move fast enough we lose opportunities, so similarly, it's often best to use the tools that are available now rather than waiting for something else. I don't know what your priorities are, but when I see you've gone so long without a solution I figured it was time for a reminder so that you could re-weigh those options for yourself. FWIW, you don't "need" third-party tools to connect into your MV environments. The tools are created and sold to fill a void where developers don't "want" to develop their own. There's nothing more magical or high quality about provided tools than DIY solutions, except that you don't have to maintain them yourself. The other side of that coin is that you _can't_ maintain these other tools on your own, so you may be better off writing your own tools, which may cost much less in the long run than buying, even if you need to contract someone to write the tools for you. I think the reason you're waiting for UO.NET is that you've found the other connectivity libraries to be inadequate, but you're hoping that someone will still provide a free or low-cost alternative. Many people here hate those libs and others love them, to each his/her own. But if IBM can't get the existing libraries to work for you now, then it's unlikely they're going to come up with something new that will change that in the near time-frame. Sure we can hope and trust, but it's going to take IBM time to develop, beta, and deploy a new library, and then there is the initial bleeding edge v1.0 honeymoon/pain that developers have to tolerate, so you aren't looking at a real solution for quite some time yet. With all this in mind I thought you might be more inclined to try a proven solution that's available immediately, rather than waiting for ... whatever. Good Luck.
