Or both. This is for a first-time computer user on dialup DHCP to receive services from a tech support person. Tech support can push assistance to the client, but only if the client provides an IP address or a name for DNS lookup. Not very picky about implementation, but would _prefer_ compilable Ada source (other language and/or precompiled is OK) and for the DNS option, would prefer to read the hostname from a config file, but a GUI for input is OK. -- Wes Groleau http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~wgroleau
