Hello, John!

     I've been on a similar (on again, off again) quest for a couple of 
years now.  There are networking examples floating around out there 
that touch on this subject.  But all of those I've found are not OSX 
(Carbon) compliant.  And for me aworking on OSX is of paramount 
importance.

     I'm now working to learn what I need to know to interface with 
Apple's networking services AND convert whatever header files are 
required (and haven't yet been converted).  But this is going to take 
some time so I wouldn't hold my breath.

     In the mean time, if you come across a quicker answer to this 
situation will you please keep me in mind?  And of course I'll do the 
same.

     Thanks!
