Hi Wataru, Your page was very helpful. But could you tell me why under sys/socket.h (which I assume is /usr/include/sys/socket.h) the socket call is declared as "extern int socket__P(,,)". Where is this function defined? I have bookmarked your page...it is really useful. Thanks Hari ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hariharan L.
