i did download qbsock to program using socket over the internet but i think i've miss some library because the simgle program telnet.bas don't work and i can't find information on qbsock please tell me what i need
 
i dont need help anymore i figured out myself how to do my irc chat program.
 
and this is through QB4.5?, man I'd be interested in seeing some example code. qbsock with the 4.5 package? <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in , or have messed with : VC++, Borland C++ Builder, VJ++6(starting),VB-Dos, VB1 thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, Borland C++ 3(DOS), Borland C++ 4.5, HTML,Visual InterDev 6, ASP(WebProgramming), QBasic(least i didnt start with COBOL)
 
but you'll need a DOS PPP dialer right? <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in , or have messed with : VC++, Borland C++ Builder, VJ++6(starting),VB-Dos, VB1 thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, Borland C++ 3(DOS), Borland C++ 4.5, HTML,Visual InterDev 6, ASP(WebProgramming), QBasic(least i didnt start with COBOL)
 
n/m I went through that site, mentions an abstraction layer. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in , or have messed with : VC++, Borland C++ Builder, VJ++6(starting),VB-Dos, VB1 thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, Borland C++ 3(DOS), Borland C++ 4.5, HTML,Visual InterDev 6, ASP(WebProgramming), QBasic(least i didnt start with COBOL)
 
I have seen some things in the past, where you can do it through a DOS PPP Dialer. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in , or have messed with : VC++, Borland C++ Builder, VJ++6(starting),VB-Dos, VB1 thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, Borland C++ 3(DOS), Borland C++ 4.5, HTML,Visual InterDev 6, ASP(WebProgramming), QBasic(least i didnt start with COBOL)
 
Yes, it's possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;I've seen 2 major ways in which this was accomplished.&nbsp;&nbsp;One is using a Win32 helper program that delivers Winsock data packets to and from a file that is used as the interface between V86 mode and pmode (Windows).&nbsp;&nbsp;The other way is to use a DOS PPP + TCP/IP stack-- I've contacted a Swiss QB coder who did this using something called DOSPPPD [don't recall the exact name here]'s non-RFC compliant interrupt-based TCP/IP interface.&nbsp;&nbsp;I've thought of a third way that uses the realmode INT 2Fh based Windows clipboard interface, which I would guess would be faster than a file-based one.&nbsp;&nbsp;I haven't gotten to implementing it though.<br><br>--Toshi<br><A HREF=" TARGET="_new">
