- Also, you might want to get a hold of some PD code that uses MacTCP and does
- the dirty little TCP calls for you.
- There is something called KERBEROS that I think comes via MIT or some such place
- and should be on the usual downloading areas.
- We have tried to use this code and it works but there are some flaky areas.
- It appears that the MAC can get really hosed up with TCP stuff and the timeouts
- in the TCP code don't do enough for you, i.e. the Mac freezes up and is no
- longer counting time clicks or something.
- We also use something called ZapTCP (I don't know where this came from) and
- this is supposed to help but it doesn't help much.
- I suspect that you may end up like us hitting the reboot button or staring at
- Macsbug screens like we did until things get stable.
- Good luck.
