I did an active-x plugin for EVB using EVC 3 / PPC2002(IIRC) about 18
months ago for xAP. At that time I had horrendous problems with the
stability of the MS PPC UDP stack. What environment/target hardware
are you using? Have you had an opportunity to do an extended "soak
test"? It would be really nice to get this working reliably, now that
PDAs with integral wifi can be had for a sensible price.
