What can you suggest? Okay, I give you more details. What I need is...
- A kind of broadcast, it could be many clients and the server doesn't need 
to send to each client.
- Data sending out consists of 2 integers and one string (< 32 bytes).
- The data is a kind of events, there are clock ticks (few times per 1s) 
and from time to time (not more than once in 1s) there's a special event. 
The idea is have something running in synch with the server.
Bottom line, I need something with little delay for small data record, i.e. 
less protocol overhead, no security required.

What Can you recommend me? What's best supported in BCB5?

Thanks
