    Running a Delphi Application in a Web-browser

    One BIG correction: it CAN be done with Delphi 5. I have developed a application specific webserver in D5 with the simple use of a TCPServer socket.

    How to use a VB dll in Delphi?

    To simply use functions and procedures from DLL's, have a look at the dynamic-link libraries topic in the Delphi help system. Basically, you have to import the functions and procedures by declaring them: procedure extHallo; external 'VBDll.dll'; function extBye: boolean; external 'VBDll.dll'...

[glasses] I did a search at www.google.com for the words &quot;fax component Delphi&quot; and , although not all hits will be useful, it found 24100 references in 0.27 seconds. The first four references definitely have something similar to what you need, but...
