What you have described is not really what is in your subject. Basically you want a front-end machine that will accept some input which is then passed onto another [back-end] machine for processing. This is fairly easy to accomplish using Apache-PHP on the front-end machine. PHP's streams support, curl functions and socket functions will allow you to communicate with the back-end machine. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* Zymurgy's Law of Volunteer Labor: People are always available for work in the past tense. */
