Almost... They used to have a feature to "automaticly" sockify an app given that the app adhered to certain restrictions on how calls to the scoket library was made. If your app didn't adhere to these restrictions, you would have to recompile the app (or make special provisions) with socks header files. /Allan -- Allan Wind Phone: 781.938.5272 (home) 687 Main St., 2nd fl.
