Sorry Randy, but the source of this problem is all on your (vendor's) side. When it comes to a bare board support, there seems to be no chance to get a full Ada 95/2005 (including tasking) and a TCP/IP stack for it. I, speaking as a customer, have no slightest desire to use a third party OS, but I forced to. [Otherwise, you are absolutely right] -- Regards, Dmitry A. Kazakov http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de
