Hi,

I don't know why you need the Net8 protocol details. It is proprietary as some people have said but there is some info out there if you look. For instance download the ethereal software, which is open source and take a look at the files packet-tns.h and packet-tns.c - these files give you some details of the packet structures. They don't tell you the protocol and what the contents and sequences of TNS packets are but they will allow you to understand better the packet contents. The tool is also good to look at the packets on the wire.

hth

kind regards

Pete
