I am trying to open a connection to the PowerPmacServer on the Delta Tau demo rack from a VB application. Here is the connection code: [i]bIsConnected = objPPMac.GPAsciiConnect("192.168.0.222", 8086, "root", "deltatau")[/i] All the parameters are correct. They work when I connect using Telnet with a port number of 23. I've also tried the sample C# Visual studio projects with the same results. Telnet opens, PowerPmacServer doesn't. How do I tell if the server is actually running on the PowerPmac? And is there some other code that I'm missing? It lookes pretty simple in the sample projects. Thanks for the help.

http://www.bakermotion.com/Servers.htm This is where I'd read about the Baker OPC client and the Pmac ( doesn't actually mention Power Pmac ). I knew I hadn't seen it in the Power Pmac documentation. Using shared memory was my alternative. I just haven't had a way to experiment with the methods included in the VB.NET library. And there is little documentation on the .NET. Thanks for the info.

I'm developing an HMI in VB and I want to use OPC for sharing the I/O and variables on the power pmac. Does Delta Tau have a configurator for configuring the server, or do we need to purchase one from a seperate vendor like the Baker Motion Control System's SerOPC? Thanks.
