I need a TCP device for send and receive

[Osler]

I know Scott built a basic one that can send stuff but not receive.

I am trying to do this in VBScript and have tried a multitude of things (w3socket, toosack, vbwinsock, etc.) but can't seem to receive data. Has anyone done this already in vbscript? If so, please lend some advice as I really don't want to write my own dll if I don't have too. Any of you guys from Pelham.....anyone?

Not this Pelham guy - Terry Roussell is your best Pelham bet. Richard Naninck probably can answer it too but he's in Afghanistan for awhile.

I had something going a while ago using the OstroSoft Winsock component - http://www.ostrosoft.com/oswinsck.asp#lic I'll see if I can dig it up. I moved most of my network listening stuff to linux. You could also do this using the .NET plugin unless you're already too deep with vbscript.

Also, you may want to look at netcat http://joncraton.org/blog/netcat-for-windows- it's kind of a Swiss Army knife of network utilities. It's a stand alone app that can send or listen on any tcp or udp port. Some Windows Anti virus programs will freak out when you download it because script kiddies like to play hacker with it. It's extremely versitle though.

Thanks guys. Good leads. I will check them out; however, I am leaning towards writing a generic plugin using the .net bridge and vs2008. Dunno if I can do it, but I think this is something most users would find useful.
