Hi Bernard, Pierre has posted here RevServer may support all the features I need in full. In fact I have moved to the on-rev hosting, so I'll start testing the connection from the PDAs using Sockets from my applications, I think I can rewrite the protocol to use HTTP.
I tried your suggestion on "wait with messages" but it causes problems in the message processing, I couldn't find the exact reason, but as the message handler deals with databases and deals with encrypted packages, I think something was not handled quite well when two clients connect at the same time. Again, thanks for your ideas on it.
