Good for you. That has nothing to do with FreeBSD, of course. > Is it possible to do that? Of course it is possible, depending on a suitable definition of "minimal". Try this for size: http://www-ccs.cs.umass.edu/~shri/iPic.html And if it were not possible, then you shouldn't have taken it as a project work, should you? > How much coding capability & man-hour > may required through your estimation? How long is a piece of string? If you don't know anything about programming practices or TCP/IP, or can't be bothered to research the TCP/IP protocols for yourself, then I would say the coding capability required is higher than you possess. > I think you are the best man for > this advice. I find it interesting that you think of a mailing list as a "man". > Expecting quick response. shafi kamal I hope this is quick enough for you. Before you post to any more mailing lists, there is a very useful guide here which I suggest you read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Regards, Brian.
