I just purchased and worked through the embedded ethernet exercise book. With the help of this forum it was a relatively speedy learning curve. Thanks!
I am now looking at the PC end of things. I currently develop with BCB3 and Async tools. I plan on adding a component to my borland software but wanted some opinions from current users on what they use. I have seen three plugin-components. One from a french guy. One from Aysnc which would take some work because it did not load properly. One called Indy which will only work with BCB4 and up. Just a quick reponse would be appreciated.
If this is not a question that should be asked here then just do not responed and I will understand.
Thanks

I use Borland's Delphi and Builder. Enterprise versions ship with Indy embedded. I am not sure about other versions but Indy can be downloaded from http://www.indyproject.org/
What is particularly interesting about the Indy controls is the open sourced drivers are available for multiple operating systems, and multiple programming languages from multiple vendors.

I have used Delphi 6, Delphi 7, and Delphi 2005. Cannot see any reason for me to go to Delphi 2006.
However in Delphi 2005 the Indy code was "updated" and as a result my application does not work without downgrading the indy version. The solution was for me to update my code or downgrade the Indy - I did not change my code nor did I downgrade Indy because Delphi 7 does everything I need. I use Indy 9.x
For the C++ It is Builder 5 but I do not use any Indy controls for this - I drive the stack directly.
