Jennifer, Why not write the application in Ada95 and use the Language interface to "talk" to the HP Broadband system. I am using a similar approach to a data acquisition system now. I wrote a simple interface package to converse with the DAS driver dlls and it seems to be working fine. This was a proof of concept activity that convinced the customer that Ada95 was a good choice. I am now into the main project.
