Hi, I've searched the mathgroup and mathsource archives for this question: "Is there a way for mathematica to talk to arbitrary (not just mathlink compatible) programs over TCP/IP sockets?" This very same question was posted to mathgroup on 30 April 1999 by Daniel Reeves. I contacted Daniel to ask him if there is an *easy* way to do this under Ms Windows. Daniel advised me to use J/link, but that's still too complicated to my taste. I did'n find anything relevant on google or mathsource... Let me show you what kind of thing I was thinking of. I tried this: !"telnet machinename socketnumber" and Run["telnet machinename socketnumber"] I managed to open a connection, but how do send or read data?
