This line was 124 characters long, so I've taken the liberty of reformatting it as a paragraph. Please try to keep line lengths down below 80 characters. Probably your best source of information on this is Steven's "UNIX Network Programming" (Prentice-Hall), which goes into some detail on both. > Is there any situation wherein TLI would be a better choice over Sockets?? Depends on who you ask :-) Seriously, it makes more sense on newer System V systems, since sockets are just an emulation library on top of STREAMS. I think TLI's a pain to program, though. Greg
