Try google for it. > For records, I had sent a mail regarding mail-slots. IMO, it uses very low level (BIOS) communication and hence might be the reason for bypassing firewall. The link the mail I sent is below: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2004-01/msg00602.html I have implemented a mail-slot server and a client in one of my projects (to control profiling on remote computers). It seems very striaght forward and simple. The MSDN has sample code which I just hacked to get a client/server working with in 1hr to 2hr. So, it must be trivial for the experienced folks here on emacs devel. with best regards, dhruva -- Proud FSF member: #1935 http://schemer.fateback.com/
