It depends on what exactly you want to do with it, and how much work you want to do yourself. TClientSocket and TServerSocket are very basic classes, but since they are pretty straight-forward wrappers for the WinSock API directly, and as such they can do anything the API can do. However, all data handling over the sockets has to be done fairly manually. Whereas Indy implements many common data handling operations automatically for you, but at the cost of needing to install and link to another library that includes much more that you are probably not going to actually use. So you have to decide exactly what you need to do and how much you are willing to do yourself and how much you want stuff done for you. Gambit
