thanks friend this helped me too...

with the above functions i get only messages if something is changed - eg. file rw-access, folder creation/delet, media insertion/remov and so on... but thanks anyway ;o) it was a good tray :o) cheers, vertex

yes, found that too, but it can only receive information over proxy. but it can´t start a listening socket (a server). im still wondering how icq makes that possible?! i could connect to a script on an http-server and check every second, if new messages arrive - but if more than 10 users check every sec. for new msgs: :zzz: X| - wouldn´t be a real instant messanger... hm... but thank you anyway... :o(
